I was aware of what you just explained, and it’s a complaint I agree with.

However the line I quoted was complete and utter bullshit. Apple does pull apps for very questionable reasons, but this is definitely not one of them.
There's a plugin you can install that brings the classic editor back.
What a weirdly accusatory tone. For the record, I’m staying at home and I wear a mask. Save your accusations for those who actually advocate for behavior you disagree with.

My point is entirely that the perception of risk has had a huge impact on compliance for social distancing and mask wearing. The fact that 99% of those infected survive (age dependent) has had a negative impact on compliance. If this had been a pandemic with a higher CFR, then compliance would have been even higher. I have an extremely hard time imagining there being an anti-lockdown movement for an outbreak of Ebola, for example.

Right, so Biden has still been soft on China and allowed his family to become financially entangled with the CCP; you haven’t spoken to that yet.

My number one tip for this strategy is: good generalists need deep knowledge of the fundamentals which apply to their general field.

If you know the fundamentals and the theory of programming/CS well enough, you can contribute to almost all kinds of programming projects (given some time to acclimate). Some examples of what I mean by fundamentals:

- data structures;

- computer architecture (no need to design your own hardware, but you should know how all the components interact);

- basics of complexity theory;

- at least one scripting language.

- knowing how to write low-level programs in at least two operating systems. For example, write a simple HTTP proxy in C by using just the C standard library and BSD sockets. If you don't want to use C, use another compiled language but avoid any fancy libraries for this kind of exercise.

If you're good at all of the above you'll never run out of companies that want to hire you. You won't know everything, but you'll be able to learn most things quickly enough.
That wouldn't be issue if google let people turn it off.

They do not, and they will not.

I don't like amp. I don't like that unrelated amp results get promoted over the actual content i was looking for (that can't be amped because it's dynamic content) in search results, I don't like that have to use to inferior search engines on mobile to get rid of it, and I don't like how watered down amp sites are.
OS Ten Eleven?
Must have had extremely cheap rent, be very frugal when it comes to eating and basically any expense, really. In rent alone I pay $10.5k/year (with what most people here extremely cheap rent). When I still was in school living off school loans, our frugal weekly groceries (almost no meat, very rare, mostly fresh produce in discount markets) came out around $80 a week, so about $4-5k/year. We're already at $15k. This leaves $5k for literally everything else. I'd wager no kids, no car payments, no cell phone outside maybe prepaid, basically nothing in utilities, buying used clothing, no appliances that broke, no internet above basic, next to nothing in terms of entertainment expenses, etc. Quick mental math keeping the strict minimum from what I pay right now and I'm already over $20k. This is weirdly cheap.

And honestly, if the numbers are right, good on him for having the discipline to do it, but this sounds like a rather awful three years.
You realize Russia and China had ones quicker?
Is the act of doing some drugs enough to ruin your life? The wealthy do drugs all the time. I'm willing to bet the majority of our politicians have done "illegal drugs" during their adult lives.

Why the double standard?
Ground based defenses would have a certain advantage due to having access to more energy. That means more sensors, faster processing power and greater effective range.

Computer science is as relevant to most web developer jobs as quantum physics is to welding. You want job training to be a react monkey take a community college night course. If you want to study something truly fascinating and is not job skills training, study computer science.
Thanks - biggest difference from web development is the mental model, instead of responding to discrete events you're updating everything a tiny bit once per frame.

There's a ton of resources out there for learning engines - Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc. I went the low-level route and built a custom engine, which was fun and taught me a lot about programming. No single resource comes to mind - requires piecing together a lot of different things.

It is ironic that the web industry rejects WordPress as "a blog tool not suited for websites" and the blogger industry rejects it as "a cms tool not suited for blogs".
It depends complete on what kind of virus it is. All of the interesting research required to hit "print" on mRNA-1273 was already done in MERS. It would have been surprising if the vaccine didn't work.

If a new pandemic emerges from a less well understood family of viruses for which we don't have any good preclinical vaccines, it could still take decades.

Sticking the genome into synthetic mRNA isn't the rate limiting step, it's knowing to target the spike protein, inserting the stabilizing proline mutations, &c and also having experience getting safe and protective responses from a similar vaccine for a related virus.
No, you have to use Rider for that. That said Rider is fantastic and their Unity support is top notch. Going between Rider for game code and IntelliJ for the backend was a godsend when it happened. Makes my day to day workload manageable.
So it was really around 100k over four years with the last 40k covered by your acquisition earnings. So 25k a year on a 100k salary (pre/post-tax?). Which is a lot less than 80k a year. Still impressive, and kudos, but let's not pretend that it's anywhere the same. That's a difference of two whole median incomes per year.
You're not reaping a lot of the benefits of your hard work.

I think employee life will always be a source of anger for passionate people like you.

Have you considered finding business partners and starting your own company?
> Property is not afforded the rights of humans and cases can be levied against property directly.

That is a ridiculous argument. Taking someone’s car or money isn’t “punishing the property” or “hurting the car’s feelings,” it’s depriving a citizen or resident of what is (until proven otherwise in a court of law) rightfully theirs and transgressing on their individual liberties. It is theft.
> Never forced to continually pay for something you don't see value in updating.

I'm glad they dialed back to this reasonable compromise. I am a big fan and was a paying subscriber (personally, in addition to a work license) when they changed licensing terms to brick the software when your yearly subscription was up. There was a predictable outrage, but they fortunately listened and changed to the present arrangement.
To be fair, you can grind a bunch in Act 1 Watson but you can't leave the vicinity of the district. The bridges and exits are blocked off GTA3 style and if you try to head to the badlands the game literally flashes a warning and tells you to turn around before just plopping you back in the city
To get worse than COVID you'd need a virus that takes a long time to develop symptoms and then has a high death rate. In that scenario there would be a lot more public fear and we'd have an easier time keeping people at home. So I'm still of the opinion it's harder to have a worse situation than COVID.
Hogwash, property belongs to someone and it’s that person who has constitutional protections.

The difference is people must actively defend the constitution, on it’s own it’s just a document without lawyers or legal standing to defend itself.
> I’ve worked with people who said “I quit” and walked out. It seemed to succeed as they never came back.

There's a pretty big difference between “I quit” (a simple immediate present tense statement) and “I will work with you on setting a non-disruptive end date” (a statement of future intent to set an as-yet-unspecified end-date.)

Here's some (Texas-specific, but broadly similar considerations apply in other US jurisdictions) relevant information:

> I’m not familiar with labor law, but I thought that resignation was a loose term that could fit many patterns.

There are many patterns of resignation, and many patterns of firing, but the difference between resignation and firing has important legal effect and is frequently disputed, and thus regulators and courts have developed rules for determining which actually applies in a particular case.

...And that's before even getting into the deeper constructive dismissal issue.

Computing Graph Neural Networks: A Survey from Algorithms to Accelerators
Swine flu pandemic was in 2009. Your timeline is off.
I took a Data Structures and Algorithms course at a brick and mortar university. It was being taught by a substitute teacher from the art department who knew some programming. The class was 5 assignments, the first of which I completed with about 60 characters of Python code; I remember feeling smug because others struggled with the same assignment. The other assignments weren't much harder. It's not all bad though, I had a great time "hanging out" (our classes were little more) with the teacher and other students.

My point is: Brick and mortar universities can also be ridiculously easy. Your students are either lucky or unlucky, depending on how they look at it. I'm currently approaching 40 hours spent on Software 1 at WGU, and I've worked as a professional programmer for over 10 years. In my experience WGU has been harder that what I had at my little "community college" (which was actually an accredited university).
Ah, way to sneak some Hillary-bashing into a completely unrelated discussion. Friendly reminder that three million more people wanted to hire her than the other guy.
It's funny, I usually have the opposite experience. I try to use DDG as much as possible for ideological reasons, but I find myself coming back to Google search most of the time because I get better results.
> This seems to be a more common modern phenomenon where people need to pump out something to look good/productive and then coast away before the challenging effort of making things work together occurs. I would say this issue is exacerbated by the mass adoption of "agile" where integration is always an afterthought since business leaders are often the dictators.

For me it is the latter over the former. I would love to do a 3 point business feature every sprint and spend the rest of the time cleaning up code. Between the POs pushing work onto my plate, as well as everything else I have to do (releases, code reviews, fixing regressions etc.), cleaning up old code is a luxury at the moment.
I don't think the advertising suggested it at all. There was nothing in the way they showcased the game to console players to make them think they were just getting a port.
Jetbrains products are amazing if you _need_ and IDE. Otherwise you're much better off using VIM or Emacs as they are open source, have tons of customization and plugins available and also they are simply lighter, faster and are available on all unix platforms.

Alder Lake will be a big-little design on 10nm, probably coming in Q3 2021.

> The libertarian congressman, who is retiring after this session, has long been a proponent of criminal justice reform.

Okay so his bill will exist for basically 10 days before all bills in Congress get erased and he won't even be around to reintroduce it when the new Congress starts next month?

Yeah ok.

Dang, you know what to do, time to close this thread just like you did with the Stable Act.

tl;dr in b4 lock.
Not the person you asked, but these are the ones I've been buying from Amazon for the past two months: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CGZFSZ9

I've cut one open out of every box I've ordered, and so far they've all been legitimate, 5-layer masks. Actual 3M masks are still impossible to find, but I've been happy enough with these.
When I say that the quality of the degree is not good, it is somewhat implied that the quality of the work of the person who did the degree is also questionable.. :/
I swear some of the stuff looks like a Dreamcast game. People are seeing textures not load. The lighting looks terrible.

Base PS4 and Xbox One owners are getting a game that looks genuinely bad for a last-gen game -- and it is coming out at the end of that generation's lifespan. You would expect this to be one of the best looking games from that generation.

This stuff is fixable, and maybe the game will look and run decent in six months, but I could see a lot of console buyers being shocked by the state of the game right now.
Seems too perfect that the same person supposedly guessed the password twice (first "yourefired", and then "maga2020!"). Especially if it was just by 5 manual attempts, and not some sophisticated setup.

Since the hacking is an "admission" by Gevers, my assumption is that neither side in the case were challenging whether a hack actually happened - instead focusing on whether it was ethical.

The White House and Twitter "strenuously denied reports that the account had been hacked". While they have incentive to do so, I'm still leaning on their side unless there's further evidence.
Then why do they sometimes not match?
I believe the seizure warning was added in patch 1.04
It's not refuted, because Ampere isn't the only competitor. The statement is that with AMD EPYC and Ampere Altra as options, Intel Xeon loses everywhere.
I always worry about the kind of companies that hire bootcamp devs like that.

Sure, I agree that quite a lot of university is not necessary for everyone, but not 2.5 years of unnecessary

If someone has just started from scratch 3 months ago and only knows how to program a bit in javascript, interface with a server and populate a database. I don't want them anywhere near a project.

I want them to at least know the basic data types and algorithms, security and integrity and design patterns. I don't want to have to deal with software crashes because they don't understand what O(N^2) is.
Yeah, this was something 'interesting' to learn about people's behavior. If it had been deadlier, more people would take it more seriously. It hits a "sweet spot" where it's lethal... but not quite enough to terrify everyone into staying home. So it keeps ebbing and flowing.
If you had a 200 meter diameter station going around once per minute, the acceleration would be 1 m/s (1/10 gee).
Sounds buildable.

It is not known what level of gravity attenuates the health effects to what degree.

This kind of a structure is going to be flimsy. An odd number of spokes like five would lessen the chance of harmonic vibrations.
I see a lot missing, here. No assembly, compilers, linear algebra, or digital design courses that you find in every other CS program.

How did this courseload get accredited? (and I say this as someone who never graduated - just showing some respect for the courseload required by some of my peers, here)
I don't think the 3rd reich and the ruins of Weimar Republic were was as economically appetizing.
It's amazing how reasonable some of these politicians get as soon as they no longer need to run for another term in office. I've often believed it was because they needed to keep a part of their constituents happy to get votes for another terms but I actually think fundraising and the lobbyists that control money are the root cause. HBO has a fairly recent documentary that explores this: https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/the-swamp
A corporate gifting of one to every rank and file employee like some sort of morally questionable bonus is a bit different from, what I assume GP meant, folks in the lab actually working on it pricking themselves to test, or because they believe in it, can't resist, etc.
It's all set dressing, smoke and mirrors. Compare the following two clips for AI:

Cyberpunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1coBF2_0--k

Red Dead Redemption 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj7KnllcYzE

So you mean "realistic" in the sense that it looks nice, which is fine, but it doesn't mean "realistic" in the sense of feeling real, ie the NPCs actually react to your actions, cops don't spawn behind you, etc.
Not really any different than going under general anesthesia.
If the government would step up, it would be great.

Until then, Apple "regulating" it is the least of bad option.
I've been wanting to do an online MSCS program for years, but it probably won't happen anytime soon. I looked into WGU, but I didn't like the lack of accreditation.

I found one school/program that seemed fair in terms of cost and time, but I couldn't fully test out of all of my pre-requisites, and I would still have to spend a considerable amount of time (and money) doing community college courses.

I just can't justify the time and effort involved when it would do nothing for my career at this point. I'm already at a top employer, top 5% income, a ridiculous upward trajectory that beats out all of my friends with a CS degree, and I'm basically set for the rest of my working life if I just keep doing what I've been doing for the past five years.

Coworkers have always assumed I had a CS degree, and have been surprised when they find out that I don't. I've grinded leetcode twice in the past, and when I'm in interviewing shape, I perform as well as someone with a CS background, and that's the only thing that really matters.

The main benefits I see at this point are that it would help for immigration, but I'm confident that the United States will remain the best market for software engineers for years to come. I'd rather invest the time in learning Mandarin, which I think will become increasingly important for software engineering. I at least have a non-STEM undergrad degree, so immigration wouldn't be impossible. The employers on my resume mean more than any CS degree would in the US market, but I don't know how true that is in other job markets.

For people who don't have experience, and especially for those doing the typical college path from ages 18-21, a CS bachelor's is great. You get priority for internships (a huge advantage over people from non-CS backgrounds, and the most significant IMO), a network of peers, and you have the opportunity to land in FAANG straight out of college, which means you'll be able to retire early if you want to. If you don't, you still get the other two.

I started my career late, but if I had the opportunity to go back in time to when I had just graduated from a non-STEM program and trade two years of working for a CS degree, I wouldn't do it. I don't think I would be as successful as I am now if I had done that.

Things would be different if software engineering had gatekeeping similar to what's seen in other high-paying fields like finance, law, and medicine. The only real form of gatekeeping is the aforementioned prioritization (and sometimes even exclusivity) for internships.
Very freaking much so! Just look at who sits in the White House, as a cheap rhetorical example. At least on the topic of responsibility.

If you're saying otherwise, you're insanely delusional, but well, that's probably how you see me.
The balanced option is ruining the lives of some people involved in recreational drug use, but not others, based on who is the point of distribution for a group of friends on a given weekend?

People don't buy drugs from kingpins and importers. They buy drugs from a friend who has a hook up who has a hook up and that is the only way drugs can be distributed if we insist on maintaining laws that ensure a black market.
I mean transparent about what is really their HQ.
Except people's complaint about google is that they kill products. These companies are so large they launch TONS of stuff to avoid being out innovated. Echo took off for example, fire phone flopped, book store did well, AWS took off, I'm sure some other things flopped.

But AWS just does not seem to actually kill their compute products. So my example was simply SimpleDB I'm not sure is even available in console anymore, but it all still worked (a few years ago - they've probably killed it by now I guess).
What's absurd is CA abandoning its $200M stockpile of PPE in order to save $5M a year about 9 years ago. That stockpiles purpose was to help alleviate another pandemic after the scare from the Swine Flu.

this is correct, the median household has a (positive!) net worth of ~$120k. you have to go down to the tenth percentile and below to find households that actually have negative net worths.

Also gave up in attending because of the admissions process.
You're hitting the nail on the head. Forestry is probably one of the most underserved markets. The opportunities here are abound even in the most fundamental areas like forest management.
Even worse is the amount of time a publisher maintained their status as the "exclusive" source for a story used to be a least a couple days - meaning a subscription to an outlet that regularly has an edge is valuable (particularly in finance journalism, which has fared better than the industry as a whole). Now, a newsroom spends a year preparing a story and somebody summarizes the key points, devoid of context, in a Twitter thread and nobody sees the actual story. Why pay for getting the story first if you can just wait a couple minutes to get the free summary?
Moderna did that too [1]. I have no clue how they found the mutation but it was already known for a few years [2,3]

How to get 100B Int ops per CPU: nearest neighbor in high dimensionality
Google Chrome powers a large percentage of all fan spins.
> 2) It just doesn't run on consoles. It's a very inferior experience, unless you're the type who can be happy with 2020 movies in .3gp format in your old Nokia phone. Having watched a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5pHpQqhmR4) of how it runs on PS4, I now clearly see where all this hate comes from.

You need to factor in that the PS4 hardware is really outdated at this point in time, too.
I'll believe these are a real viable thing for ordinary open source Linux/BSD developers, when I can go buy a $150 motherboard and a $250 CPU from newegg, that have performance anywhere NEAR what I can do with the equivalent priced Ryzen. Or even some Intel 10th/11th generation core-whatever i5/i7 CPU.
> I don’t know how you replicate these experiences outside a formal program;

They aren’t designed for that. The specific programmed mentioned I believe is designed solely to bypass credential based gates where you might meet them.

Bootcamps are generally designed for quick turn around times for people who want a high paying career change, and come with a different set of experiences.
Maybe, but that's a Zen 2 proc being used and isn't far off in single core perf or really multi-core perf on a lot of tests(with worse single-core perf and fewer cores). It's the latest ARM tech against

Zen 3 EPYC releasing Q1 is likely to be a different story.
