Oh, thanks for spelling it out for me. Being incredibly stupid, it's valuable for me when people treat me as such. (:

Traditional education for practical purposes was, for much of human history, focused much more on apprenticeship-style learning than degrees. Colleges and universities were not considered a prerequisite for lots of technical jobs such as carpentry, architecture, toolmaking, clockmaking, or even banking and accounting.

If we look at the last century or so, instead of the breadth of human history, we'll see a different story. Perhaps this is a good scope to consider, seeing as the history of Computer Science and programming largely falls into this time period.

If we want to consider digital computing, the dawn of our field had plenty of people coming to programming "from industry", to use a modern term. Experienced professionals learned to program outside of degree programs, because there were no degrees to be had in computer science or programming.

Many early pioneers in programming and digital computing came from EE programs and Mathematics departments.

This is the early tradition of programming and computer science.

Today, though, if you were looking to start a career as an SRE or as a programmer, a Math degree would be a poor choice. It is traditional, in that it was a common early path, but it is much less likely to prepare you for the type of job relevant to this thread.

An individual with a degree in Literature would likely be considered a non-traditional candidate for a programming job. An individual with a degree in Mathematics may be considered the same. A Math degree may have a lot of computational focus, or none at all.

I have no qualms about decephalization. But it makes no sense to grow entire humans when we can grow just the organs.

Lengthening telemores seems to be most ‘ethical’ option as of now.

The only credible one is that it limits certain kinds of bad behavior, but that may come at a substantial cost.
Ok, so you have a sentiment that Bitcoin and crypto is more than it's price and speculations.

But you started talking about the price and bubbles, how does that further your goal of sharing this sentiment? You wrote about the price yourself? Or are you referring to the bubble of mindshare? "Bubble" usually refers to price, I might have misunderstood you?
Awesome! I recently got a pair of BT headphones and was surprised that my Android phone and Windows machine showed the battery level, but that my MacBook Pro didn't. Especially since the battery level is exposed via a standard BTLE characteristic
>large and financially secure startups, say 1k developers and up

Sorry for the tangent, but what’s the definition of ”startup” we’re working with here?
> It has allowed Apple to sell the first ARM-based laptop that is really good.

The Pinebook Pro is really good. Not excellent, but really good.

And seeing as I prefer FOSS, and general computing over walled gardens, it's superior to the Apple alternative.
I tried various combinations of the books I’ve read over the last couple of years[1]. And either I got stuff already on my bookshelf or sphere of reference[2], or a lot of Calvin and Hobbes (seriously every result had at least one, sometimes several), or children’s books, or adult comic books. Which I guess is by some definition the opposite of adult novels. But a fun and interesting tool to play around with either way.

[1] Underworld, Blood Meridian, The Bluest Eye, Milkman, Pale Fire, Borges, etc...

[2] Chekhov, Ursula Le Guin, Proust, Umberto Eco, etc.

Edit: I scrolled down and read the creators summary of how the search works. And now believe my results really nailed his description: rarest but highly rated by readers of the same books. Which also explains all the Calvin and Hobbes, which I think have a universal appeal.
On track? Which one? Care to share the video evidence?

All I've seen are 1/4 mile drag races that show that yes, indeed, the Taycann has a 2 speed gearbox. There isn't really a big advantage outside of that.
Yes, I remember that. It also appeals to me as in different bodies at different ages. Why look the same when we can be anything we want. What can the downside be?
I second rclone. It's rock-solid (at least until Google changes their Photos API), and should be fine to automate via cron: https://rclone.org/googlephotos/
Do you get to choose what to work on? Does it have to be in the backlog or can it be something not tracked?
For me what you're describing is more mess than complexity. I see your point tho, but I'd also say that some of things you describe here are direct result of real world problem domain being complex, and changing over time.

For example, wrong abstractions. As long as engineers writing the software are competent (if they aren't - that's a totally different story) they'll try to chose right level of abstractions for current understanding of the problem. Years down the road, a lot of their choices maybe end up to be a mistake, very often because understanding of the problem changed, or problems itself changed, and something that was nice and clean solution isn't one anymore. If problem isn't fully fixed and 100% understood, you'll never be able to make all the right, future-proof decisions about right abstractions.

Then he left his house in Jamaica to three men who hated one another, on the condition that they own it together.

I really like this guy. Humor is a slow play and if you can play your hand even after death then you have mastered humor.

I had an uncle like this, I hated him as a kid but he made me a man that does not take everything too serious. Unfortunately he passed right as I was becoming a man so I only realized his life lessons in reflection.
(As a side-note, can someone who has explored SVE in more detail than I comment on whether it's possible for a big.LITTLE-style implementation to use different vector widths on the big and little cores? One obvious challenge of going to wider vectors on something like the M1 is that you either pay the cost (area and power) for the capability on the small cores, or you lock threads that use those capabilities to big cores, neither of which is ideal. If you could have 128-bit SVE registers on little and 512-bit on big, it would help with that; but it's not clear to me how complex it would be to allow an SVE instruction to be interrupted and restart it on a core with a different vector width. I guess in extremis one could emulate the remainder of the instruction before restart, but eww.)
> I expect that AMD and especially Intel processors with AVX-512

AMD processors do not support AVX-512 (yet?).
Unlikely that there would be any big gains on the mobile side, and this being their first desktop chip, they probably didn’t want to rock the boat.

Apple nailed this, unbelievably. I have an M1 MacBook and it’s truly black magic. It’s already the fastest computer I’ve ever used. I’d rather have stability during the Rosetta 2 stage than added complexity and bugs by introducing a new bleeding edge instruction set.
I've been playing around with this, and it's pretty cool. Say I want to share a single file with a developer - maybe it's a config file, or a simple script, or a secret token. I would run:

hyperbeam hey-jane-here-you-go < mygoodfile.txt

And Jane would run, on her end:

hyperbeam hey-jane-here-you-go > fwips-good-file.txt

Note that the existence of npx makes this even simpler! You can tell your friend over discord "Hey, type in: 'npx hyperbeam hey-jane-here-you-go' and you'll get what I'm sending you. :)"

Note that "hey-jane-here-you-go" is effectively a one-time passphrase that I'm using, and will only be sent to computers listening for that exact passphrase at the time you send it. If you're sending military secrets, you might need to use very long and complicated passphrases. But if you're sending a cat picture, you could probably use "for-jane" without risk of collision.
I am not sure why this post gets downvoted. I had the same feeling when reading this article. I would expected better from WSJ.
The problem is that it is very hard to get something big from little splotches of time, or at least I find it hard, so I focus on little wins.

My company informally allows for spending time like this, but if it works out to an hour or two a day in between meetings and Slack requests, I can't really do much with that.
>Apple doesn't care about using their machines for general purpose development

That's a bold statement that I've heard repeated over many years and never actually seen any real evidence of considering the Mac is the only place you can develop applications for the majority of Apple devices. Not a week goes by on HN without someone saying "Apple doesn't care about developers and/or will stop making general-purpose Macs" and yet there isn't a XCode for iOS or Android or Windows or Linux.
That “similar number of people” still die despite the enormous amount of work that goes in to road death reduction! We are doing things, and we are affecting the road toll. A quick look at Australia shows that from the worst years, 1970s, where ~3,500 died a year, we’re now down to ~1,200. That’s a 3x reduction because we did something. (Airbags, improved car design, improved road design, improved compliance, etc.)

If only we had some sort of analogue for doing something vs. not doing something re: COVID. Oh wait, we do.

- Number of Australians dead: 908.

- Population adjusted, 13.1x: 12,000.

- Number of Americans dead: 298,000.

That’s 25x as many. We did something, America didn’t.

Spotting a pattern?
More aggressive lockdowns initially could have limited the initial spread, and from there reasonable precautions could have been effective. Disparaging mask use is also generally considered to be harmful.

Cutting funding to certain CDC programs may also have been detrimental.

The amount of human work possible is limited and so are raw material.

By investing you are giving somebody money that when used will make access to those bought resources more expensive to other agents.

That is why in the perfect system you don't want to put "all money to work". You want the perfect balance between investing and saving.

Savings allow you to preserve your value into the future till you detect a worthy investing opportunity.

Sadly enough, the present world has lost most important tools to save and preserve value: money and government bonds. Thus obliging all agents with value into risky investing instead of safely save for the future.

The situation explains why gold and Bitcoin soared last decade: economic agents need some store of value to park their savings.
Have there been any studies comparing recidivism rates between these countries?
Well, a bit of advice from eastern european dictatures -- the more people try to refrain from politics, the worse politics screws up their lives.

So I ended up respecting politised people, regardless of their views.

For a functioning democracy, everyone must do politics, even if it's unpleasant.

/r/NeutralPolitics tries pretty hard.

The hard part is that reddit is majority liberal, so it's very very hard to find a good balance.

Any random non-political subreddit is going to be liberal slanted. In order to find a conservative slant you have to go specifically to a political conservative subreddit.

> Being UNIX was never part of neither Apple or NeXT's culture

Why do you say this? True, Mach is architecturally different from the BSD kernel but user space started out as NetBSD and its still fundamentally a POSIX system.

I never worked for either company but have worked with NeXT and Apple engineering teams on projects and wouldn’t say that I was working with people who took a non-Unix orientation, especially when compared, say, to Windows.

Would you not have considered AIX Unix? Or Unicos? People considered that Unix but it was more alien than the macos due to then constraints of the hardware.
It doesnt have to be gold. But sound money is a necessity for a thriving economy. Gold standard prevented bad monetary policy that leads to runnaway inflation. Its not a perfect system but it stops power and greed from destroying the economy.

Addition: Every historical case of a government switching to fiat currency has resulted in runnaway inflation. The reason that gold and silver are the only constitutional money is it forces the government to do the right thing. No gold standard permits those in power to manipulate the currency for whatever reason they wish. The rules should force the wrong people to do the right thing. Relying on people in power to do the "right" thing will always fail.
>I wish there was more inherent economic incentive, where everyones salary was more closely tied to their contribution and efforts but I guess thats too much to ask for in this world where non performers and non-productive members of society are given this 'unalienable right' to live off the products of society just for being human.

It's hard to parse what you are asking for - what more economic incentive would you imagine there to be; I think the problem with this line of thinking is that you are taking a far too simplistic model of the world where our problems are caused by people being "lazy". I think the world you are wishing for existed - it's probably the hunter/gatherer model; any more sophisticated organization of civilization requires some level of socialization. I think your "darwinistic" approach is a flawed philosophy upon which it build a nation or a global superpower.

It's interesting because the article posits, and makes a very good case for, systemic issues that has caused the erosion of manufacturing base - however politically we are unable to move beyond simply understood talking points such as "minimum wage".
That’s got to be the laziest “fact check“ I’ve ever read.

Suppose the vaccines didn't work or had massive side-effects. Then Pfizer wouldn't get any money. Conversely Moderna would still have gotten much of this research money.

I bought a monitor with a "Low Blue Light" button (it's a "BENQ" brand). I didn't buy it because of that feature and had never even heard of it before.

My first reaction was thinking it was kind of ugly so initially I didn't leave it on but after a month or so I noticed my eyes were getting strained so I tried it.

It is ugly, but it makes a big difference. Now, when I turn off the Low Blue Light mode I can instantly feel the strain on my eyes. The picture is gorgeous but it's too bright and intense for work. Since I use several monitors I manually adjusted the others to reduce the blue.

The biggest downside is selecting colors for design work. The Low Blue Light screws that big time, but after comparing how different colors look on different monitors I decided not to worry about that too much because I have no control over that at all.

You're asking a number of questions that have no bearing on whether they've produced financial information for the balance sheet. We can get to those issues, but first I want to make sure you understand the difference between lawsuit discovery and the initial subpoena.

The initial subpoena requested financial information. I inferred that the time elapsed since the subpoena to mean tether backing was demonstrated. You mentioned that tether is fighting discovery, implying that financial information has not been provided. The subpoena and discovery are two entirely different matters, and moreover the reason discovery is happening is because Tether Inc complied with the subpoena.

It is the reason that all but the tinfoil-hat people have stopped worrying about tether. Their business might go under, but it wasn't the silly printing fraud that people like Bitfinexed were claiming.

Lawyers can be in adversarial roles to the judge, i.e. it easier to antagonize a judge as a lawyer than a police officer.

Lawyers do enjoy preferential treatment than you and me in the system for couple reasons, one they the rules and are likely to use/exploit them, also various agents of system tend to be careful about procedure around a lawyer, one of the reasons you should hire a lawyer asap if ever arrested.

ELI5 versions:

The isotope of copper known as CU64 is used for seeing what is happening inside the body. When CU64 decays back into normal copper, it emits a particle called a positron, which passes through the body and we can detect. By putting CU64 inside the body we can see things like internal organs where the copper accumulates. This is called positron emission tomography, or a PET scan.

CU64 is one of many isotopes you can use for this, and is nice because unlike other options it emits a good quantity of particles (resulting in good image quality) and lasts a long time (so we don’t have to worry about it getting to where it needs to be - in the world and in the body - before it decays).
One of the cool things about FP is that it already runs on the apple M1 under Big Sur [1], although of course it is a work in progress.

For Delphi, maybe somewhere next year. They did put it on the road map, but there are no guarantees [2].

Screen time itself shouldn't cause eyestrain. Reading is the most likely culprit. Pay attention to when you're actually exerting your eyes. For example, when trying to read a very small font you should feel your eyes working harder. See if reading a larger font feels easier. But sometimes it could be something more subtle like reading technique. Perhaps you're fixating on words or some details for too long.

I hardly ever get eyestrain. But when very focused on a task for long hours, I find I may inadvertently exert my eyes more. Never happens with casual reading.
5 submissions a month means I can't just play around with it to figure out how it works. I'll have to learn its interface while also fighting some particularly difficult bug.

Extremely cool post, but I think the title is a little misleading. The execution of a query is dependent on the framework, this article is specifically about the GraphQL reference implementation in JS.

I am going to suggest Eizo (and similar high end) monitors. High quality and uniform monitors do wonders for prolong use. You might also want to use greyscale-only on alternate days if your work can accommodate it. Last but most important, train yourself to blink 2x more often.

Pascal is unsurprising in a mostly good and sometimes frustrating way.

The syntax will be the primary barrier. Things like nested if-else with multiple conditionals are just a little more persnickity if you've been using C braces for decades. But the language, in the Borland dialects that most are using now, is somewhere in between C and C++ in terms of power overall: it's a little safer by default, still manual memory, but without needing to fling around quite so many pointers. And those compile times! A pretty well-suited language for game coding, actually.

And in terms of writing production code, libraries may or may not be a barrier. Basically, Pascal's current ecosystem exists in the shadow of one of the best RAD environments of the 90's - Delphi. That's where a lot of the code got written, and there's a definite focus on native desktop apps that remains. There are certainly good libraries available, but many are old, Delphi-centric, and lack polish - haphazard accumulations from developers that are very "get-er-done" and unconcerned about reuse. You can always bind C code, of course, but today it's easy to end up saying, "well, but I could just get a working library in (Go/Python/Node/etc) and be done" and thus end your Pascal journey before it starts.
Job openings are still aplenty for Palo Alto based location, so what would these new + all the existing employees in HQ do?
The first one is not exclusive-or, though: if you wanted to eat pizza and pasta, you would not answer "no" to "Do you want to eat pizza or pasta?", you would answer "both". Rather, "or" is serving as a inclusive-or with (perhaps) the incidental implication that picking more than one doesn't make sense in the first place.
And from the screenshot, that's just DNS resolution. Nothing to do with SSL.
I suppose, but couldn't the same be said for the early 64-bit transition on Arm for Apple? They don't seem scared about biting off complexity today when they know they'll need it eventually.

The other side of this is that we're now in a window where performance-sensitive developers are motivated to start looking at NEON and adding NEON support to existing SIMD code. Which is fine... but if SVE is the long-term answer and SVE will (as its goal) support better performance scaling of SIMD code with future processors, it seems like there's a real motivation for Apple to push developers into doing things "the right way" as early as possible.

Assuming (!) that SVE is indeed the future, missing it for the first few generations is shades of 32-bit-Intel-for-Apple -- a stop-gap with some remarkably long-tailed support costs, compared to jumping straight to x64.
What would be much more interesting is a comparison of Apples frameworks for numerical processing. Like Accelerate. Those do not just use SIMD but actually take advantage of all the additional things they put in their SoC.

What we are looking at now is some specific benchmark for a random library that who knows how makes use of things.
