Wouldn't want to miss that boat if it comes though. I think we'll have level 5 self driving for at least all purpose built roads within the next few years. I can't reconcile what Tesla have already released with not having self driving go mainstream soon. I suspect self-driving will never have a eureka moment either and will just slowly creep into existence.

Your ancestors might not have driven cars, but they used the motoric skills required for controlling one, and they had a vision system optimized for detecting and avoiding moving objects.
> Basically you've probably just created another database

I think that's a fair assessment of persistent queues, using "database" in the most general sense.

> Worse, that database may be different to your other databases.

Different isn't inherently worse. It's just a different tool for a different job than a traditional RDBMS. The problem only occurs when we pretend they're the same.
I have no metrics in the frontend, it's reasonably fast for me. It's the interactions with the backend that are slow. This is evident for anyone that's used the api.
If you start it at noon, or midnight, it's a clock.
I quibble over a few of your points:

(a) type="button" only does anything if the button is form-associated—otherwise it’s the default. And even then, if your button within a form is semantically submit buttons (as the Create button here is), the semantically-best technique is instead to leave the button as a submit button, and instead of using a click handler on the button, to use a submit handler on the form and do event.preventDefault() within it.

(b) That buttons don’t wrap externally is a feature, not a bug. Links should wrap. Buttons should not. The point here is that it is a button, so it should use <button>, and this is just one of the reasons why.

(c) <button> not supporting `display: flex` was Firefox-specific and fixed almost four years ago in Firefox 52. I believe the last fiddly alignment corner cases were fixed over two years ago also. So you can safely forget about that limitation now.

(d) You shouldn’t want to put a div inside a button, any sort of button (whether <button> or any other technique). That’s not what buttons are.
>I wonder if incidents like this will push MS towards open sourcing windows.

What I am thinking as well. Unimaginable if it was 10 years ago, but modern Microsoft seems to be taking a different approach. And Apple desperately need some competition to keep Tim Cook honest.
Twitter could be one but will need some crafting.

Refine the accounts you follow based on friendliness, information quality and relevance. Might end up making a nice little community. Spread friendliness yourself and attract friendly people to follow you.
Source on "world first"? I thought a city in my region had these for a few years already.
You are misunderstanding my point and injecting your own dislike for bikers where it isn't relevant.

The difference is looking like you know what you're doing, and looking like you have no idea what you're doing. Regardless of the situation (biking, at work, or talking to women at bars) not knowing what you're doing and having that be publicly visible can be a huge hurdle to overcome.
Also seq[T] and closures involve GC (and some other types maybe).
> You just need a wide angle lens, so it can be mounted on the desk without needing more space.

The issue was physical mounting room for the tripod, not focal length. When I did try using my Canon, I actually didn't use the widest setting on my lens. A 16mm equivalent lens would've given everyone a really nice view of my closet, which isn't something I want to do.

> Using DSLR or mirrorless camera as webcam on desk is done by many, especially by Twitch streamers, Youtubers, and Zoomers who want quality video.

As I said below, those are groups that are willing to make tradeoffs for extremely high video quality, especially streamers and youtubers as that's their job. For the rest of us however, the tradeoffs are probably not worth it.
Most people don't have the training or resources to setup or run a profitable farm. In addition, in many cases the land is highly remote; in which case someone living on it isn't really part of society anymore.
Genuinely curious to know why you think the gulen movement is a bigger threat to secularism & democracy in Turkey & the world.
From my findings, they start & fund secular schools(elementary to university), fund & organize interfaith dialogues, fund social programmes etc.

I've skimmed a couple of books written by Fetullah gulen and what he preaches peace, love and cooperation amongst all. Of course, every group has it's idiosyncrasies, but can't find anything out of the ordinary with the gulen movement.

Has it been established with proof that the gulen movement is responsible for the coup?
> Why would you ever want to run CPU bound tasks in python?

0. Because you don't have time to deal with the mess that C++ has become, and the amount of please-repeat-yourself-a-million-times crap you have to deal with (cmake files, header files, they give us a goddamn spaceship operator but not basic necessities like string split/join methods)

1. There are many use cases where faster execution time is nice to have, e.g. when results can be cached for a long time, or if it's a one-off data analysis script, but human time is far more expensive. If it costs $1000 more in engineer hours to write C++ instead of Python for that script that's only going to be run 10 times, that isn't a worthwhile tradeoff. Hell you could buy a new GPU for that money.

2. Because the same exact file can be deployed on arm32, arm64, and x86

3. Because CPU-intensive stuff is largely already optimized by numpy, numba, tensorflow, pytorch, etc.
It's not only about cost, it's also about practicality: there is some baseline demand on electricity even at night. Solar obviously cannot fulfill that demand. Wind also can't because it is too unreliable. So we do need some storage technology, and hydrogen is one of the options. It seems way cheaper than using Lithium-Ion batteries, but might be still more expensive than, say, pumping water uphill and using that to power a hydroelectric plant.

Energy transmission can be some solution here, but we might be forced to transmit energy across the continents (so, for example solar plant in Sahara delivers power to New York City at night) which probably is too costly.
I just saw a random video the other day about aluminum recycling. For many uses they have to add rather a large amount of virgin aluminum in order to get the alloys right. Especially troublesome were alloys with heavy metals, which you have to keep out of food container feedstocks. I can’t imagine steel recycling being much different.

This video was about a plant that ground the aluminum to roughly inch sized pieces (sorting out anything bigger or smaller) then using X-rays and air jets to sort the alloys based on transmissivity of the trace elements. Their goal was to make aluminum billets out of 100% recycled material (although the video claimed the goal was 100% recycling, which is clearly not happening if you are culling pieces from the input stream. Might have been an error in translation or wishful thinking.)

I wonder if someone will do the same with steel.
in terms of cognitive load, yes
My comment to a very similar reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25596163
That looks neat! I'll have to give it a shot. Though I must say, one reason I'm particularly enamored with Pixel Dungeon is that I can read the source -- much as I hate Java, I can read it. Like Rogue, Nethack, etc., I don't see reading the source as cheating... but as a fundamental aspect of play.
That's because they were trying to appeal to a completely different audience who doesn't see things that way. From the article, they were trying to focus on ease of use, which many current non-cyclists cited as an important factor.
Netflix stock will drop by half.

The singleton will be rediscovered and frameworks, languages and religions will form around the concept.
So... "shouting across the room" for a ticket which is so trivial it doesn't need to be documented is OK, but telling someone to "fuck off" for doing it is not?

Your priorities are backwards. I would not work at a place where interrupting me during coding to fix a trivial bug is considered acceptable.
> And please, don't anyone dare chime in with the the standard "if people want a feature in open source they can 'simply' implement it themselves".

Indeed, how dare anyone call you out on demanding that others invest time and effort that you won't.
Let’s get them on the phone and negotiate a joint-custody deal, then, because I feel like RAD has only gone downhill since then.

Thinking back to how easy it is to open up VB5, drag-and-drop a UI, and ship an .exe that anyone could run (yes, because of MS’s OS monopoly, but still), the current mess required to build a similarly complex app for the web feels like a serious regression.
Are we talking about the conspiracy that Trump colluded with the Russians to fix the 2016 election, or the conspiracy that the 2020 elections were won by the democrats through voter fraud?
It really depends what you mean by "low". It's certainly possible at the hundreds-per-day type volume. The key is to just look for bigger effects. If 200 people show up, 10/100 convert on A, and 25/100 convert on B then B wins (p < .01)

As your traffic scales, you can look for smaller and smaller effects. But the whole idea of testing variants can be applied pretty damn early.
You'll probably have some puritanical argument to disregard this but throwing it out here anyways: the genetic pool of modern day Turkey is substantially more Greek and Iranian than Asian.
The Shopify features you outlined are the "how", but not the "why". As in, why would I buy from a Shopify store, if an equivalent product were offered by a bundler?

1,000,000 stores using Shopify are effectively the same as 1,000,000 products on Amazon, only less convenient.

I think the overall takeaway is that trust doesn't scale to Amazon-now-size: i.e. one of the biggest retail companies on the planet.

What it did scale to (and very well) was Amazon-1995-2010-size (eg Etsy or eBay), and there's a lot of size between D2C and those variants of Amazon.

I'm open for convincing, but I don't see a path to "D2C eats the world," when for relatively modest amounts of capital one could create a smaller, right-size Amazon that could bundle and dominate.
Hi 90s, this is 2020... OP can't take your call right now because they are busy building low-code environments to help companies keep their dozens of bootcamp hires productively building in-house line-of-business tools that will be a nightmare of maintenance and technical debt in 3 years.

Well maybe you're right. But it does seem like Chromebooks and iPads are extremely popular in the education market. Both of which use the mobile versions of Office.
In 3 lines you've managed to write 3 conflicting views.

1. Some health workers might have different views, including very wrong ones on any kind of treatment. What does that change?

2. It does not. Whistle blowers always existed and in this case they are just wrong. You cannot control the mind of the whole medical industry.

3. I would also disagree with this one even if I don't agree with the staff that rejected the vaccines. They have their right to having their own opinion and that's good. I am free to disagree and I will.
Ok.

It was between Joe Pesci and Dustin Hoffman.

I look more like Joe, both in stature and countenance (ha, always wanted to use that word in context!). But I can't recall a movie where he didn't leverage his New York splutter. I have neither that intensity, nor the wit and it would just not work.

Dustin Hoffman is, as many are, better looking than I but still believable as me. The advantage is that as a character actor, he could easily spend a couple of hours with me and get 90% of the way there. I just don't have that big a range of expression.

Now, to write the story....

I really enjoyed Asimov's Foundation Series and Le Guin's Hainish books (specifically Dispossessed and Left Hand of Darkness) this year, check them out of if you haven't yet.
Baku is certainly too far away to be a "strategic" anything. One would have hoped that the requirement for military aid would have been a bit more stringent than that! However, they got the arms used in their continued efforts to squeeze the Armenians from USA via Turkey.

Foreign wars playing on USA TV is a double-edged sword. Yes, we should be more aware of how our actions harm those in other nations. But, no, it isn't a good thing for the news firms to make us more worried about remote events, since that fear is itself the most common pretext to additional disastrous violence.
It doesn't have to be as extreme as you imply. Just getting away from "butts in seats" can make a big difference. Think learning stations/areas in the room where the kids move around from one to the next. Learning games that involve physical movement. Breaks every few hours to go outside and run around -- used to be called recess, and many schools have eliminated it.

I thought that was a bit parochial too; but if you have priors please post.
The example of factory QA is really an OLTP / near real time system, for which queues are definitely a bad idea.

Any system where you "would much rather an exception be raised immediately and crater the caller" is by definition an OLTP type system, which is a really bad fit for queues.

Lots of bad experiences with queues don't necessarily mean that queues aren't useful tools. They're just tools—they have a time and a place. If you've tried integrating with an email or SMS gateway, or a legacy rate limited bank you might have a different experience. Or dealing with slow job execution combined with spiky high speed job creation.

Depends entirely on the problem, and probably the solution team and constraints as well. Don't think it makes sense to dismiss them out of hand for all problems, though—just as it doesn't make sense to claim that they should be used for each and every problem.
Playing devil's advocate here: How do we know that nurses that refuse to take the vaccine based on anti-Science stances haven't been negligent during the pandemic in other ways that effect patients?
Looks normal to me now.

Some prices on Amazon are algorithmically determined and sometimes that does wrong. Nothing super far out of the or ordinary.
The reason I always heard was that there’s tons of binary blobs in Windows they bought from vendors that’d have to be reimplemented (the zip library is the most notable example).

If you make a game with Unity, you have productized the graphics. It does not matter at all that Unity has millions of dollars or thousands of person-hours built into it. The game developer paid the asking price. Everyone was compensated. The game developer didn't somehow unfairly "take" the hard work of the Unity devs.

From the point of view of a game developer, having good graphics is "easy" because Unity and Unreal exist. The fact Unreal and Unity exist enables thousands of developers to make games that couldn't otherwise. Making a "point" that a small game developer didn't write their entire stack is just shitty gatekeeping.

If you watch the Engoodening of No Man's Sky on YouTube, it argues exactly this. Every thing that Hello Games' Sean Murray said ended up haunting him, and them stopping the communication and just getting to work is how NMS got to being one of the better space sims today.
If they build skyscrapers providing housing for the influx of people, it doesn't look anything like the bay area. Instead it's more of a NYC trajectory.

The wage is not the only problem. The problem is, do the workers know what they are supposed to expect in terms of safety? Are their parents able to guide them in various ways? I don't have a problem with 13-yo school students working paid internships on software for example, assuming that their parents and schools are in on it on the student's side. What conditions are these child laborers working in and how much of a role do their parents take in tracking what the workplace is like? Financially stressed families seem to sometimes get overburdened with the hustle and in such cases start to miss this stuff. In "Leave it to Beaver" land the boy goes to work for the grocer after a lot of conversation in the home and there's triangular conversation between the grocer, the parents, and the boy as the scenario plays out. This is affluence taking a hand.

My immediate brothers and I did not have to work until they were adults. My half brothers, at the behest of their mother, worked as soon as they could, while staying in high school and going on to college, and I think it worked well for them. So, @mbrumlow, I think see how your situation benefited you.
Large fireworks displays do scale sub linearly, just not all the way down to a single bottle rocket. The issue is large displays are viewed on a roughly flat surface aka the earth, but irradiate light into 3D space. To maintain a proper viewing angle fireworks need to be launched ever higher into the air as your showing them to more people.

oh my, cut the virtue singling crap. They didn't get to become a megacorp on any one's back. Apple still represent's its employees and they worked hard to get there when everyone was cheering Bill Gates and Microsoft.

Yeah, I recognize MBA speak when I see it. That's why I chuckled. They were hacked and somebody saw their code. Now some guy in upper management has to spew some bullshit to protect the company's "image".
As a maker, this is very impressive. Custom builds with gears and motors sourced from various sites is very, very tricky. Matching bores and tooth pitches is hard enough, but mountings can really take a lot of physical trial-and-error.

I tend to default to ServoCity ActoBotix because there is great interoperability, but the tolerances are shaky.
So by "graduate level", I don't mean that at no point could any undergrad follow the material. I'd wager that you're correct, most seniors, and many juniors or sophomores with the right sequencing, can follow the material. But that same thing can be said about _tons_ of graduate course work. From my experience, many graduate classes have a few advanced undergrads in the class.

By graduate course work, I mean "builds on an undergraduate-level understanding of the material". And yes I'm being a little hand-wavy about what demarcates grad from undergrad (which probably isn't well defined anyway), but I hope the gist of my meaning is clear.
I guess you could ask this of nearly any astrophotography. Are the images the Hubble takes not really "photographs" because they're composited together from several black and white photographs?

Another question, if this had been done on film, would you feel differently? The process is the same (Well, more or less) to a double exposure. Does that not count?

This will probably be “good” for China in the long run of 50-100 years down the line but it’s the exact opposite of what humans should be. It’s going to be a disgusting seething horde of Han Chinese, standardized, of common think and purpose, arrogant to everything they have lost. All of this for what? A slightly higher standard of living? Less opposition to the party? What a waste of a beautiful culture and millennia of history.

Besides the point. Have you ever had a favorite teacher who told you that you were destined for failure? Probably not, that teacher is never gonna be your favorite -- and spending a semester, or even years, with that teacher might well sour you on the subject even if it was your favorite.
Because the corporation makes a lot of money and has a lot of power.

Sure, we can drop the vilifying and the moralizing. But these criticisms are still valid even if one was to be less emotional about it. Maybe this story can be framed in terms of a substantiative discussion on the proper relationship between U.S. companies and international vendors wrt labor conditions. Dismissing criticisms out of hand is as unproductive to discussion as automatically attacking the megacorp.
It’s a little hard for me to follow your last paragraph but it sounds like you are confusing AI and AGI. I don’t think anybody using BERT is claiming the latter.

I assume the empirical results are the validation sets run. I.e., the tests that show it provides better results than the base rate. Again, it’s important not to conflate verifiable results with understanding the underpinnings of why it works. If you’re walking and I race you with my car over and over again, I can conclude my car is a faster mode off transportation without understanding anything other than “push right peddle to go faster”. My ignorance doesn’t invalidate the results
