I think something real is being observed here and it would be interesting to get to the bottom of it. If they find that more 'experienced' reviewers (however they measure it) are letting more go by, maybe it's overwork, many the same core people are asked to review all of the most tricky cases, maybe time pressure causes them to let things slip by.

My experience using Godot for 2D games ~1.5 years ago was it was mostly enjoyable but there were annoying little bugs in Mac GUI that didn't give me a lot of confidence. The bad part was when it came to 3rd party library integration for mobile, e.g. for ads, tracking, etc. There's not a lot of support in the ecosystem for those, and writing your own wrappers is a big PITA.
Thank you, this is really helpful. I think clarifying that those limitations somewhere early on in the website could save people a lot of time in figuring out whether this is a good choice for them. It sounds like this might not be best for realtime graph analytics, but would be great for very large static graphs.
It's slimy to try and collect on payments that a consumer agreed to make? Is that what you're saying?
There are very fundamental blocks, like the ribosome. Or enzymes.

Of course over a few million years there was some feature creep, and it turned out that with a little tweaking proteins can be optimized to perform more tasks and then even squeeze out a bit more efficiency out of folding to the task.
I Agee completely
> It's also be cultural. Certainly there's additional perverse incentives with the current system, and not all of it is just simple profit-seeking.

Totally. The problem is cultural first, as seen with the example of Japan education: it is Confuscian, but it fails in the same ways.

> Hiring expectations- including in tech- often do reflect cultural perspectives and not necessarily economic realities.

Indeed, unnecessary competition to just look like market competition.

> Touching fish isn't really meant to be a way to bring about systemic change, it's just how those who are suffering from 996 seek to cope with what they're put under

Check my username, I was one of the 996. It takes some wild out of the box thinking to escape a system that has embedded its values into you.
I did it. Was working a software job and realized that I wasn't excited about the industry. I decided to apply to Ph.D. programs in math, got accepted to some, started a Ph.D. at 26, now work as a professor.

My years in industry weren't helpful in my Ph.D. applications, although from what I can tell they didn't hurt too much either. By the time I was applying for academic jobs I don't think anybody cared much what I had done before grad school.

Different academic fields have very different cultures, and there are some which may value your industry experience. Overall we academics have an annoying habit of not caring about anything that happens outside the walls of the ivory tower, but not all fields are the same, and not all individual departments are the same.

There are multiple definitions of a "successful academic career". If you want a tenure-track job at a research university, then yes, you absolutely need strong publications. If you want a tenure-track job at a more teaching-oriented university or college, then often you need strong publications there as well, but other factors are also very important.

As far as the "age" bit -- there is probably some age discrimination, but in practice "age" means "years since you finished your Ph.D."

There are also non-tenure-track positions. The pay varies from miserable (e.g. adjuncting) to mediocre but livable, and the job is primarily teaching with maybe a little bit of service. Can be a very enjoyable job, but it can be a little bit lonely, you're only a conditional member of the club. You'd probably need at least a Masters degree.

Also beware of the "demographic cliff": fewer students are expected to go to college in the coming years than in the previous ones, which is going to have a big impact on faculty hiring, and which will probably cause a lot of small colleges to go under. So, if you go for an academic career, make sure it's in a field that's expected to grow in popularity.

Bottom line -- difficult but maybe possible. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Good luck!
I would much rather localize my neighbor's cat to know when the bloody thing is shitting on my property again.
A single period means is interpreted as "Why?"?
> You mentioned accelerators - usually they operate by investing for a percentage of the company.

Yes. The trade off is that if the company fails, the accelerator loses the money they put into it, and the founder loses the time and effort. It's proper risk sharing. Now compare to a loan, where the founder not only owes the loan, but also the interest on top.

This is a dumb take.

Canada has a very cushy social safety net and still has payday lending with interest rates of 49%.

And the alternative of having payday lending is no lending - that is, these folks would have no way of getting a short term loan. Is that better?
imho, it feels like the language is always getting in the way because much of Scala's FP ecosystem is created by abusing language features in ways the author did not intended. For example, when explaining typeclasses in Scala I found engineers quickly understood the concept of a typeclass and the got tripped up on how to make them with implicits. Scala3 really cleans a lot of that up.
They already did!

> it would create opportunity for actually well-run businesses that benefits the customer to take their place

This assumes that you have a functional society after say...Chase or Nestle or Pfizer or Boeing or Disney, etc becomes insolvent. You will lose more than a decade in churn as the monopolies (enough that they can dictate legislative agendas) leave huge gaps that are inevitably filled with instability. The "good actors" that would backfill is a utopian fantasy. Different names, different brands, but the same kinds of people would end up in the same positions of influence. That's how the (mostly) capitalistic system operates.
Sure, we will go by these new critical rules, if you donate the standard median total comp of a staff engineer at google worth of comp for each person you want to act like this.
This is despite Tesla selling 21 times less cars per year, and only making not making all that much more (definitely more, but potentially not what you would expect for a company much smaller) per car sold? Consider also that Toyota's best selling car is cheaper than the cheapest Tesla, and their range extends significantly cheaper than that.

Sure, but I challenge you to argue they are a worthless tool.

You can do it in other ways, sure... but I don’t accept that you can argue type hints have no worth.

... if they are the correct solution for every case? If they are worth the (honestly fairly trivial) effort to write and maintain?

Those are fair questions.

The question is, if you’re or using type hints what are you using instead?

...I how the answer isn’t “nothing”, because that just means you not using a tool because you don’t like it, not because you have a good reason.
Agreed it would take a large team to deploy and execute - especially as its a public/government run team. I probably wasn't clear in my description of the goal.

I want to get up to speed and distill what options are available - at a high level. I won't code it/deploy it, but I'm good at reading and understanding setups and seeing the pros and cons.
Nextdoor seems to be whatever the local moderators make of it.
Mine will censor political views (mostly from the right). They will also censor posts related to breaking of unpopular laws (such as those related to pet ownership responsibilities like leashes and waste removal).

I doubt that Nextdoor corporate has any oversight into the performance of the local mods, and there's no mechanism in place to report such abuse. Nextdoor is far less open than any newspaper, which will usually at least have an editorial page.

I don't think anything will save you if you mess up your block structure. You can mess up your block structure with indents, or you can mess it up with braces.

Personally I think it's easier to spot mess-ups with indents. Some people think braces are easier. I won't fight with those people today :-).

But I don't think randomly cut&pasting code anywhere is a good idea. If you do paste code, you really should understand what the code is doing first.
Thanks. I believe the organization already has the powerBI service available - just not being used. But when I look at their use case - and ability - I think it might be over kill.

This has been in the works for a while! It's exciting to see core components being officially put into the hands of the community.

Docker distribution is the second implementation of a container registry ever (the first was written in Python by Docker and was later forked into Quay) and is at the core of many of the commonly used container registries like Docker Hub and Harbor. This repository became the basis for the OCI distribution specification[0], which is now the standard for distributing container images (and more[1]).

I agree, I picked up Scala a bit over a year ago and have loved it. I believe there is a happy medium between the functional and OO aspects. Finding this sweet spot is where the language outshines others. Using classes as decomposition components and then using Scala's functional aspects such as immutability and the large offerings of classic functions (map, reduce, fold) give you a powerful and productive language.

> In fact, creditors lose money on loans all the time. Borrowers routinely escape paying out the entirety of their loans.

Just because some lenders lose money, does not make the contract any less predatory or immoral. That's like saying that there are some people who don't wear seatbelts and make it out of accidents without issues. The very fact that the US has trillions of dollars of student and auto and mortgage debt is more than enough to illustrate how much of a disaster usurious money lending is.

> In the case of a cash loan, the asset is cash.

I already explained how it's not the same. A tangible asset is consumed, experiences wear and tear, needs maintenance, etc. Money doesn't need any of that, you get back your asset in pristine condition, plus more.

> All the Islamic financial institutions still charge interest

If they do, then they're not Islamic, regardless if they claim they are. It's quite simple, and many scholars have called them out. Calling something prohibited by a different name to make it palatable is already mentioned in our books, and is outright prohibited. Dancing around the issue by stitching together a series of permissible contracts to result in something that mimics interest is prohibited. We have narrations about this.

The so called "Islamic banks" are a recent problem as I mention in another post. It's one of the many effects of post WWII colonization, where the West forced its values on the lands it occupied.
Unfortunately their offerings have gotten worse since the announcement. I've noticed significantly longer queue/build times in my org compared to a year ago.
Outside of perhaps medicine there is no profession with a better career path than programming. That said, I don't think you addressed the key question here. Namely, do you like writing code?
> Why not just use a different language?

I’ve asked myself this question (in a different context) and have concluded that, in general, developers are incredibly resistant to learning and using new languages.

For example: if they weren’t, then server-side JavaScript would never have become popular.
This is contrary to my Nextdoor experience in middle America suburbs.
Most of the posting is fairly benign posting of lost/found dogs or cats, craigslist like sales, asking for HVAC/contracting referrals, or suggesting people support certain small businesses during COVID.

The other day an elderly couple put up a post asking for help removing snow and ice from their sidewalk/driveway because they are disabled. About a half dozen people showed up to help them including a plow driver which I thought was very nice.

I don't go there expecting deep or thought provoking content but it's nice to see if neighbors can help each other or understanding what the general consensus of your area is.

It's not optional. It's required for things to work properly.

A basic example of something that would break if the environment is not activated is binaries, like mypy.

You have a script that calls "mypy"? Gotta be in the virtual environment to invoke it, otherwise the executable might not be found, or worse, it might run another executable.

I made a comment on this too, they are not presenting it in the best light because their example has a finite pool of data so using all of it will give the best performance. You can see the active learning curve is steep at first as the technique identifies the most useful data points to add to the training pool, but then flattens out once these are exhausted.

But for situations where there is a bigger pool of unlabelled data, active learning can identify which subset should be labelled to produce the best model performance, as long as the unlabelled pool contains "valuable" examples, the curve should remain steep and ideally meet performance targets much faster than for just annotating data randomly.

Also, there is some evidence that adding too many easy points to the training pool can reduce performance, see e.g. focal loss. So this could potentially mitigate that effect (mind you so could using focal loss, but that would require more labeling)

In all seriousness, everything from Geneva to Sion to Chiasso seems relatively close to me in Zurich. The intercity public transit is neither cheap given the distances nor especially fast but they're still all reachable within 3-4 hours. It's difficult to do a ski day trip to the places mentioned, admittedly, but there are still plenty of spots closer to Zurich that are suitable for that.
The point of the post wasn't to explain that Church encoding is a replacement for the visitor pattern. The purpose of the post was to explain that the visitor pattern is essentially the same thing as Church encoding (thus the title of the post), because I noticed a lot of people were not appreciating that connection between the two.
Cool. Hopefully that means it passes the next round of Jepson testing. :)
If your job is HR in Google the correct response is to say "Hey, hiring managers! Here are the things we see you incorrectly identifying as corollaries to competence" not "Hey, prospective employees, here's how to trick our stupid hiring managers".
I actually looked at the content on Parler and TheDonald. It wasn't just "kill X" or other bland content. There were detailed plans, detailed descriptions of exactly what hundreds of people were planning, lots of conversations where people were coordinating with each other, etc. Look at the photos of people who broke into the Capitol. Flex cuffs aren't normal peaceful protest equipment. Neither is body armor, armored helmets, concealed weapons, large canisters of pepper spray and tear gas (which they used against police).

Did everyone on Parler do what they said? No. Did some? Yes, we have captures of their posts and video of them doing it. When people with bad intentions never encounter any push back, they're emboldened and escalate their speech and actions. Parler has been warned for years that allowing this type of content to run rampant will encourage more, and encourage even more extreme statements, which eventually lead to actions. Eventually it happened. And then other independent, private organizations had every right to decide not to do business with them, and proceeded to terminate their relationships with Parler as is their right.

If all the people who peacefully used Parler are upset, they should blame Parler's poor management, as Parler's board clearly did.

> LALRPOP in fact uses LR(1) by default (though you can opt for LALR(1)), and really I hope to eventually move to something general that can handle all CFGs (like GLL, GLR, LL(*), etc).

My first interaction with Next-door in Cupertino:

Neighbor: "There is a suspicious man walking around the neighborhood!!" (includes blurry picture)

Me: "What makes his suspicious?"

N: "He's black and wearing a hoodie! We don't have people like that around here"

M: "Being black doesn't make him suspicious. Would you say a white man in a hoodie is suspicious? Because we don't have a lot of those around here either"

Then I muted the thread.
As a left-libertarian, I see a lot of promise in this idea because I see it less as a company running a town, and more as replacing government and companies with a permissionless technology like TCP-IP, BGP, or SMTP or HTTP or Ethereum. Whenever that happens, new wealth and innovation is unleashed and costs go down. For example, VOIP has brought costs down tremendously versus phone companies and governments trying to break them up.

Representative democracies are the best we could have done before computers, but now we can replace institutions by autonomous networks taking care of the infrastructure.

Clay Shirky gave a great talk about “institutions vs collaboration” back in 2004 (Google it). As a left-libertarian I’d prefer gift economies and collaboration over competition, but either one would be better than the current Feudalism we have.

I’m envisioning the currency, monetary and fiscal policy, energy grid, telecommunications being run by an autonomous network determining prices. The community would democratically vote on how much UBI to give, and how much insurance to give.

In fact, I have literally been BUILDING this kind of thing with my company since 2017, and the code is all open source. This is exactly what it would look like and how it would work; Take a look and tell me what you think...

PS: In my experience this kind of comment gets heavily downvoted by people who say nothing.

Why don’t you actually engage with the substance of the topic and add your perspective below!
Then don't borrow what you can't afford to pay back? When you borrow money from someone, you explicitly enter a contract with a legal understanding that you will pay it off back in a stipulated time. When you go back on your word, it's not only unprofessional, it is also a breach of that contract. So, the other party should be free to get back their money in whatever means legally possible within the boundaries of the law. Getting back their money from your account when it's most likely to exist isn't a bad idea after all.

Not everyone who borrows money is a "victim" and not everyone who asks for their money back is a "predator". It's not so black and white. I've lost money to worthless people who lied while borrowing only to find out they blew it all on prostitutes instead of that family emergency they claimed they had.
That is quite literally unimaginable at a company like Google.
The J people are looking for new maintainers, BTW!

Most languages with proper multithreading that I've used don't have an ownership model. Most the the standard library collection types are explicitly not thread safe, and then there's separate concurrent versions for if you're writing multithreaded code.
