JIT is used everywhere, as it improves financial indicators because companies aren’t carrying inventory on the balance sheets. It’s also a big reason why companies in an industry cluster, as proximity to the supply chain de-risks jit.

The shift to modern inventory management coincided with offshoring. It became easier to source parts in Northern Mexico and now China as a result.

Tables and spacer gifs don't necessarily use less Arc code than a simpler layout would. The table layout might even use a bit more if it requires more iteration, macro expansion and branching to render. There are special case macros in the html library for generating parts of the forum table that wouldn't be necessary otherwise.

Also, the goal clearly was to make a website, because pg made a website, and here we all are. Once you put your MVP online it's valid to criticize decisions made for it in that context.
This is not a very good overview of complexity.

In the US, a research university intro course offering that's asymptotic to this book will almost certainly be promulgated by the EE side of the house for reasons like satisfying ABET accreditation requirements or EE programs generally being better postured to support lecture/recitation supplemented by a significant hardware lab component. At Stanford, see EE 108; CMU, 18-240; UF, EEL 3701; and so on.

At my undergrad alma mater, it was the only upper division EE course that didn't have a prerequisite. The senior lecturers who alternately steered the course were notorious for baiting would-be freshmen into taking it early as an effective means to cull the herd. What's funny is CS undergrad advisors publish a suggested sequence with a footnote calling this major course out by name with an explicit recommendation that it "be taken either by itself during the summer or with no more than 13 hours/credits during a Fall/Spring semester."

The "gamma" if you will for printed materials is usually defined as the "dot gain", for reflected light one of the key factors is the light adaptation of the eye at viewing.

The WCAG 2 contrast guidelines are defined using relative luminance "Y", as in CIE XYZ, and not absolute luminance "L", even though they use the letter L somewhat incorrectly (not to mention incorrect math, but that's another story for another day). The 1.4.3 guidelines are not LAB which is more properly L*a*b*, as L* is perceptual lightness, not luminance.

Interestingly though, the NEW method for WCAG 3 is APCA, which is using power curves very similar to L* perceptual lightness, but nevertheless is not a ratio. APCA is perceptually uniform, the old method is not, leading to a great deal of misunderstanding, and likely a motivating factor behind "Contrast Rebellion"...

Nothing in the paragraph indicates an origin for the connection to the legal profession.

In fact, later in the piece they explicitly state that the origin of that connection is unknown:

> Successive writers tried to pin down what it actually meant, with no great success. Ferne, who was himself also a lawyer, noted that it was often used by those in the legal profession. Later definitions suggest someone adjacent to power, maybe the son of a knight or the younger son of a titled noble who would receive no other title of his own. But also, consistently, it included someone in a legal profession: a justice of the peace, a barrister, a sergeant-at-law. It was never recorded, explicitly, why this might be.

I'm sorry to ask, but I'm out of work and I've never had an interview at a FAANG company:

I have 2 years of work experience as a software engineer and a bachelor (B-/7.2) + master in computer science (A-/8.1). I've applied for years to FAANG companies through their website. Could we have a chat and see if I'm fit for being referred to the FAANG company you worked at? My email is in my profile.

--- More info (albeit redundant) ---

I applied through all the websites, but have always been rejected at the resume stage. I feel it's insane since I:

* Can build web applications in React/NodeJS

* Know a thing or two about web exploitation

* Know a thing or two about binary exploitation (mostly IDA), I once reversed 90% of a whole binary and ported it in C. That 90% compiled to exactly the same x86-64 assembly.

* Have built iOS applications in the past

* Have done hobby projects in: C++ (doing that now, see my Ask HN [1], I'm building something that requires speed), C, C#/Unity3D, PHP, Bash, R, JS, Python, Objective-C and Java (one with OpenGL).

At some point in the future hopefully we will have tuples, variants and pattern matching as core language, in the meantime it is nice that the language is powerful enough to allow implementing them as a library. That adds complexity of course and it is going to be rough on the edges.

At some point there were multiple lambda libraries before we got language support for it.

Did you miss the part that he'd become a doctor and observed patients for years before he started experimenting on himself to treat the very condition he was already an expert on?

This is like the Galileo complex, where people think their ideas are right because they are rejected by the establishment, forgetting that by the time Galileo started promoting heliocentrism, he'd already been one of the most respected, well established scientists in Europe, and, in fact, his views were accepted by the majority of establishment scientists. It was the non-experts who rejected him.

Maybe I'll consider that it's true you can use a words in a sentence without it being policy. WIll you consider the difference between the name of a policy used by a politician and declared to be "official" and a description of what that policy actually is? Good link. Let's excerpt.

>At the start of the pandemic, the government's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, spoke about "herd immunity" - the idea that once enough of a population had been exposed to the virus, they would build up natural immunity to it.

This was when the virus spread really kicked off. There was a press conference I saw with disbelief where people were encouraged to attend football games because on average a positive case will infect 5 others so attending football games is fine.

>"Our aim," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that morning, is to "try and reduce the peak - not suppress it completely, also because most people get a mild illness, to build up some degree of herd immunity whilst protecting the most vulnerable".

"to build up some degree of herd immunity" is not a herd immunity policy.

See you could call that policy "isolate, trace and contain" and that name does not make any difference to what the policy actually was.

That particular knight of the realm was clearly speaking so badly out of term about the UK following a policy that was not being followed that he was of course immediately fired. I just can't find the link. Maybe it didn't happen and I just assumed you'd have to be fired if you literally lied about government policy in a pandemic and that has been confusing.

>in a BBC interview on 11 March with Dr David Halpern, chief executive of the government-owned Behavioural Insights Team, known as the "nudge unit", and a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).

He told the BBC: "You'll want to protect those at-risk groups so that they basically don't catch the disease and by the time they come out of their cocooning, herd immunity's been achieved in the rest of the population."

Let's call the policy "Geoffrey" and between us declare that name official to this discussion. That doesn't change anything either.

As long as we can treat this:

>"In a statement, a government spokesman said the emails "make clear… herd immunity has never been a policy aim".

With at least some of the utter contempt mustered by the bbc journalist in that piece.

I hope my another repitition of my rejection of what has "been pointed out" is now sufficiently clear to you. The policy was followed the aim of spreading the virus achieved the hoped for payoff for that strategy has been elusive. Or perhaps they just stumbled into following a herd immunity policy by accident while talking about it. The distinction is not important to me.

The pricing and availability is crazy because the suppliers are afraid to ramp production.

In many categories, like cheap laptops, webcams, small printers, etc demand exploded. More Chromebook orders came in 2020 Q3 than normally happen in a year. Laptop LCDs are super-constrained as well. The dilemma is that expanding manufacturing capacity now will reduce margins tomorrow, especially since the order books will be empty as COVID fades as schools open again.

My guess is you’ll see prices in free fall as the edu backlog clears and COVID restrictions fade. Probably this time next year.
It happened with my mother and her chemo for stage 4 colon cancer. She hadn't worked in years due to being laid off, not having a degree, having an extremely sick child (me) to care for. So she's temporarily working for my father, enough hours to get insurance. But dads company just switched insurances specifically because of the cost of her treatments and now they're drrrraaaaaaaagggggging out the process of getting much needed new chemo as it has grown back. It's easy to look at the situation and assume they're honestly just trying to kill her before they pay. As well it's a drug that would cost over $100,000 for a single course if she were to acquire it with no insurance.

Another point is that our insurance systems are so needlessly complex that there is no single person or pair of people that understand what's actually going on. If the insurance is denying you get trapped in a continuous loop of appeals, approves, offices, pharmacies, prescribers, etc. and no one is able to tell you 1. Why they're denying you 2. What exactly you need to do to not fucking die.

Im sorry but the system had become both absurd and cruel. I keep trying to remind myself that 80 years ago they wouldn't have been able to save her if they tried. It's still better. But to see this carrot perpetually yanked further and further away from you as you slowly lose your ability to keep up or keep going. And then, as the last light dims from your eyes, to see someone sprinting the carrot back to you and attempting to help you as best they can even though you're nearly past the brink.

That is the story I've learned.

Our system does have success stories. It is better than nothing. But any system that has the capacity for such inhumane cruelty in the face (in spite) of genuine humans trying to help sets a dangerous precedent for the future of its society.
In my experience yes and I use it myself as well, but with care. Optional parameters are a thing so when you're doing something like the author describe, you need to consider that your function is quietly receiving these parameters but just discarding them.

I see people using .filter(Boolean) a lot for example. If the signature of that were to change, for sure it wouldn't be something that quietly gets implemented, but I wouldn't pass formatting functions to these operations carelessly, especially in a codebase where there may not be tests. Some of the safer ways I've seen are use of unary helper functions to wrap the callback, or having the callback actually take the arguments but discarding them like (element, _index, _array). At least that way you communicate some intent.
"We poor majority Hindus are being marginalised by the minority in India in the name of secularism."

(Note that in India around 80% of the population is Hindu, and the minorities are less than 20%).

The sophistry of argument is interesting here when it is claimed that lower caste Hindus cannot setup their own exclusive schools, while the minorities can (the right-wing claims this as "discrimination" introduced in the name of secularism). Funnily, such demands for a caste-exclusive institutions have always come from certain upper-caste dominated religious right-wing in India, who actually look down on the lower caste in India and don't socially interact with them unless they absolutely have to. They yearn for the days were every caste was educated by their own community, thus "preserving the purity" of the caste system (which is part of the Hindu religious system).

With such a mindset, it is quite understandable why they would like to set up "exclusive and pure" schools that is only for their caste community. Caste discrimination continues to be a huge problem in India, and it should be thus quite obvious why the government of India has no interest in allowing such exclusive caste-based schools - it can lead to caste ghettoization that would just prolong and make the evils of caste discrimination worse.

Hindus can absolutely setup their own private schools and colleges in India, but it cannot be "exclusively Hindu" or some "caste exclusive" only institution. But this is true for minority run institutes too - they can only allocate 50% of the seats to students of their community, while the remaining 50% has to be filled with students from other community.

Apart from this 50% seats for their own community, they are also given more autonomy to run their institutions.

Why are they so allowed?

The indian state believes that minorities rightly have a concern that they can be deprived of educational opportunities as the majority hugely outnumber them. Thus, to allay this fear the constitution grants them the protection and privilege of running their own institutions which can be exclusively for their community to a certain extent, with more autonomy (which implies less interference from a "majority" run government).

Since any Hindu can start and run a school or a college, and thanks to the nature of India's population, it is guaranteed to be filled with more than 50% Hindus, we can rightly guess that the real issue that the Hindutva right-wing have is:

- They can't run castiest schools.

- They have issues with the "extra" autonomy granted to minority run institutes.

I have already addressed why India doesn't allow castiest institutes. On autonomy in minority institutes, it should be clear that this constitutional guarantee of autonomy is what prevents those in power from interfering in the affairs of minority run institutions (and was added in the constitution for precisely such a purpose - to protect the minorities from abuse by an unsympathetic majority in power).

This kind of fair balancing of the rights of the minorities, which the majorities are expected to defend and uphold, is what is attacked in the name of "flawed secularism".

From my understanding, the "amplification cycly threshold" is a number which depends on the specific PCR test. So every lab has somewhat different numbers applying to their testing method. Consequently, there is no single number for this the government could publish. And without an analysis of that specific lab, the number isn't meaningful at all. Publishing it would actually be very harmful as it is so meaningless.
