If you're stoked for that, then I would be remiss to not say something about Robert Alter's one man translation of the Hebrew Bible.

From wiki: "Alter's translation aims to convey the literary style of the original Hebrew text in English, recreating as much as possible its poetic rhythms and metaphors"

I think many of the Psalms and Ecclesiastes in particular are more beautifully rendered in his translation
Could you recommend anything to start reading on how to actually make a plan? I’m young and honestly don’t know how to generate a financial plan besides the basic stuff like maxing out 401k, emergency fund, etc. I’ve considered hiring a financial consultant, but I’m unsure.

Probably the lawyers asked for it.

As in, if $VENDOR gets hacked and we did no due diligence, we are definitely liable for $VENDOR's incompetence. If we can prove we attempted some form of due diligence, with a paper trail, we might have a fighting chance.
I forget where but one time I said in a post something about doing Hellawheelies on my motorcycle and they asked if I was from possible California. They said they only heard it the one place but then heard me. It’s here in Canada as slang.
I don't listen to him now that his RSS feed is defunct, but ISTR Rogan supported every right of trans people except the right of trans women to compete in women's athletics without informing competitors of their gender status. This came out after multiple women MMA fighters were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

This nuance is enough for certain trans activists to damn him completely, but that is hardly a universal judgment.
I realize that Facebook is like the Phillip-Morris of the tech industry around here, but I still find this a little unsettling. Facial recognition is near ubiquitous among social media and photo library apps. The “tangible” damages to all of these users is not clear to me.

I think using citation count as a metric for scientific importance by definition incorporates a ton of hindsight bias. Less cited papers are sometimes poorly executed research, but often they also just represent dead ends and uninteresting avenues that would've eventually needed to be explored. they don't form the foundation for lots of new research, but collectively they are important for directing things in the right direction. In that sense the citation count undervalues their collective worth. I don't buy the idea that we could get rid of the vast majority of them and the high impact work would be done just the same.

If you can afford it, take a break. I was on the same situation, and through therapy I decided that instead of worrying about being unemployed the entire time what I needed was a break. I spent the whole of December doing absolutely nothing but chill with my girlfriend and play video games, and now I'm much more motivated to work on my side projects and look for work again.
You are programatically updating elements in React, you just internalized a different set of rules (putting state in the designated buckets vs calling an update function). It is the equivalent of this:

const setState = (s) => { state = s; rerender() };

Real reactivity is what you get with proxies in Vue, or a smart compiler like Svelte.

> I can alter global state ... that isn't possible with this framework

You'd just need to export a state object from a module, import into the components, and call rerender after any mutation. I've actually written quite a few vanilla-js apps using this structure when I don't want to bother with tooling, small pages don't need a complex reconciler.

I'm not saying this is better btw - there are ergonomic concerns and different trade-offs, but the distance from this to what React does is much, much shorter than most people think. We've just been conditioned to accept its rules as 'normal': don't declare plain variables in your functions, don't mutate properties, don't use inline functions as props, don't rely on previous state object for updates, and so on... step outside the box and you'll get a mess too. This library is just a smaller, different shape box.
> But moxie hates third-party software using his servers.

Does he? I doubt he really cares if some devs build a few projects around these kind of tools e.g. hobby projects.

Either way, this project has existed for quite some time and the author has maintained it for quite some time now. It seems to be going strong.
The SD card argument I don't really see as too valid, as the computer isn't specifically for photographers.

That seems like a good reason to actually use an adapter, as outside of photography and similar niches, an SD card slot is not very commonly used. In the past it was used by most people, but nowadays non-enthusiast photographers don't really use much beyond their phones.

HDMI I could somewhat see as more likely due to how ubiquitous it is, but it very much feels like a step backwards.

USB-C is great because it's a port that can be anything. The world is moving more towards it in general; Apple conceding and going back to specific ports IMO would be a bad move for the industry in general.

I don't much about biosphere 2 specifically, but I have read that concrete absorbs CO2 over long timescales. Hundred-year-old concrete is chemically different than it was when it was a month old. I don't know if it gets denser, or if the CO2 replaces something else.

No, we wouldn't, because the proteins of the virus are what the immune system responds to, not the genetic material.

And obviously the proteins coded for by such genetic material do stimulate immune response, otherwise mRNA vaccines would have no effect.

Every new language is an attempt to fix some problems in the existing languages but at the same time be simple to learn and use. But the problem-space of programming is very complex. So while a new language does something better than some existing languages the language designers do not foresee all problems that may arise in actual use.

Maybe a way to proceed would be to have a common set of code which every new language would try to rewrite, and thus see how much better it is, or is not, than the existing ones. Comparative analysis.
Doesn't this open up a Blue Pill attack?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software)

Linux kernel boots, runs MacOS in a VM, can snoop its memory, evil maid attack. This is one of the few ways that locked bootloaders benefit smartphone users (rather than benefiting only the smartphone manufacturers).

This is also why ARM Chromebooks in "developer mode" display a scary message for several seconds on bootup and make a maximum-volume-level beep to get your attention. To disable that you have to replace the bootloader, which requires opening up the case (and if you're going to do that you could have just swapped the motherboard).
Go still has a few annoyances: error handling and casting things to/from interface{} are the most painful of them.

Certainly, it's still ways better than C. But the resulting boilerplate and copy-paste programming ought to be a source of errors.

(I'm happy to see the generics proposal coming closer and closer to a future feature.)
For a business, I agree. I should have clarified, I'd be happy with something that works pretty well at the hobby level.
No very good, I'm starting to believe that the so-called "shortage of developers" is just companies who have a terrible and frankly broken interview process, over-optimized to detect red flags no matter how small they are(I had been rejected for so many small things like "I didn't talk enough with the interviewers", "Your solution is good but you forgot this small edge case that we didn't mention ", "Your code was fine and it does solve the problem but we wanted to see you going the extra")

leetcode problems are silly but company us them as filters because they don't know any better but on the "Brightside" only take 1 o 2 hours of your life.

take-home challenges are worse because they require more hours to completed and sometimes companies just ghost or reject you without giving you any feedback.

By far the best way to skip all that nonsense has been with referrals, I believe its because if the new guy underperformed they can just blame the one who referred him

> Rust code can be just as fast as that C code, but protect that memory access, and without the cost of a garbage collector or some kind of runtime checking.

Not technically true. Rust must do a runtime bounds check when it cannot prove that the input index goes above bounds at compile time

I have a copy of this! I found it in a used bookstore years ago and had to grab it.

I'm pretty sure it's not auto-translated: like the sibling said, the first half-ish of the book is a verbatim collection of Usenet posts of the author, from 1999, writing in his characteristic broken English, earnestly laying out his anus-constricting theories while getting mildly trolled.

The rest of it is a screed in the same style. Opening to a random page (really, didn't have to look for samples), we see

Cabala says "human being could have lived on the earth of high temperature long ago years as a human being of immaterial hermaphrodite". I think there has been the imprint of immaterial hermaphrodite in our physical body.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's closer to Time Cube via English as a second language than bad/autotranslation per se - as far as I can tell it was originally written in English as there doesn't appear to be anything with a similar title in Japanese by anyone with that name, and there's a fair amount of common English-written-by-Japanese-speakers grammatical errors and other smells.

The article goes on to note that around 1/10 of 1 percent of the videos examined were enough to rate this ominous headline. The author doesn't inform us how many videos were captured within 1000 feet of a walmart, or a hospital, or a daycare center.
This bug is extraordinarily fascinating.

Also, it presents one of the rare cases where running chkdsk might actually do something useful.
Yup, this is why we use PHP/Laravel for our stuff. Stable language + powerful framework = can focus on solving business problems.
The problem with understanding what hooks do is that they’re basically an involuntary red pill. React and other libraries supporting function components have either a compiler or runtime fiction that your view is a function of input. Hooks force the reconciliation logic into your view, and turn your “function” into a constructor. Sure, you can reason about it. But now you can’t reason about your language primitives.

That depends if you just consider the nominal commands or if you also consider whether, and in what manner/degree, the commands are enforced (and complied with.)
I’d love to understand the rationale for preferring extremely short variable names.
> Americans have suffered far more during the pandemic than any other country

That in particular in the opening is enough — a perfect match for the stereotypically ignorant parochial American. The US is among the worst off by some reasonable criteria like deaths per capita, but is in a cluster with other nations and not above. So to claim as if self-evident that it “suffered far more … than any other country” is just nonsense.
This is a nice idea
I could mmap some virtual memory and write malloc's API to allocate chunks, kept safe by linear haskell

I can write a variety of memory allocators, kept safe by linear haskell

more generally, anything you can do in C, you can do in Haskell. So malloc is fair game (although i'd just call the C one from Haskell)
A lot of the money went to gangs in foreign countries. There were some stories of immoral rich people like the rapper who got over a million dollars and boasted about it, but I imagine most were dishonest poor people. The problem is this rewards a small pool of scammers, and the honest poor are left even further behind.

But it sounds like you want to believe it was money well spent, so I don't imagine this would convince you otherwise.

> The decisions by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others to suspend and/or block President Trump’s communications via their platforms is a simple exercise of their rights, under the First Amendment and Section 230, to curate their sites. We support those rights. Nevertheless, we are always concerned when platforms take on the role of censors, which is why we continue to call on them to apply a human rights framework to those decisions. We also note that those same platforms have chosen, for years, to privilege some speakers—particularly governmental officials—over others, not just in the U.S., but in other countries as well. A platform should not apply one set of rules to most of its users, and then apply a more permissive set of rules to politicians and world leaders who are already immensely powerful. Instead, they should be precisely as judicious about removing the content of ordinary users as they have been to date regarding heads of state. Going forward, we call once again on the platforms to be more transparent and consistent in how they apply their rules—and we call on policymakers to find ways to foster competition so that users have numerous editorial options and policies from which to choose.

This doesn't read like placating these companies to me. It affirms their general legal right (it can be more harmful to regulate this right if done incorrectly), and yet criticizes them for not properly wielding this right responsibly.
Couldn’t you also say the same thing about Java not going with one of the earlier bytecoded VMs? Or, from the other direction, would we have seen more languages embrace the JVM if it’d been more open and things like invokedynamic had been added earlier?

> "That's helping people" doesn't really say anything. It's extremely vague. Moreover, it's clear that not everyone helped since abject poverty and hunger are a thing, regardless of where you live.

this is less true than it has ever been in human history; the only places with true famines in the modern world are those cut off from global markets by war, or dysfunctional states that are cut off from global markets like NK. your statement is either willful blindness or some kind of bone-deep cynicism -- "nothing good has happened because bad things still exist".
When Lehman went bankrupt it had $691,063,000,000 USD in assets on its books. Having assets available does not preclude the submission of a bankruptcy petition. I don’t think I can clarify wrt to expenses, since I don’t know what you mean when describing their expenses as adequate.

I would suggest further research on the meaning and implications of bankruptcy.
It’s just fear-mongering at this point.
Fair enough. I just figured $300-400 a month meant upwards of $5k/yr to possibly increase the number of matches you get. Could you compare what that kind of spending gets you versus going to picking up dates the old fashion way? I've tried Tinder in the past and it was fine but I never really felt obliged to spend money on it. Maybe because I was in college and didn't have much cash on hand.

A very silly article. Newton laws where certainly not "discover" by newton alone. Erasing people from the history and then painting a picture of a lone scientist is an high prospective. There are scientists that work alone and they are rare and NOT the most productive. And I'm talking about Physics and Math here. So no you need to shower communities of scientist before getting result from research.
By the way if an hypothetical lone scientist find all the theorems of the world he would still need to spend some time to teach them to others. At the and you still and up funding a large group of top scientist. There is no way around it.
Since words don't have a one-to-one mapping or anything--even in cases where the mapping of words themselves makes sense (and if often doesn't, as words in language say have different attachments for how to convey meaning)--this is still mostly a subjective translation problem; if you want to come close to this I recommend playing with apps like Pleco (for Chinese) that are designed to give you the source text in the original language and then let you click each word to get a dictionary definition (in your language) for each word (which of course isn't a single word and can't be, which is the problem with trying to get a "literal" translation). (I think Google Translate might have a mode like this?)

JSX being a macro-like compile time primitive is actually its biggest strength. It’s a data structure but its implementation is undefined, so JSX implementations are free to compile it to whatever is most suitable for its runtime. Including compiling it away to nothing.

On our planet, I’m very much in favour of hurrying to ensure our planet remains a lot more habitable than Mars. And I’m hard pressed to believe that keeping our planet habitable is more difficult than making Mars habitable, so escaping to Mars doesn’t seem to be a solution to the finality of things.

And therefore our species leaving the planet really implies leaving our solar system. And I’m hard pressed to see that possibility defined by a couple of centuries. So we better make our planet work for a very long time.
