On the contrary, I think language expertise is underrated and I want new hires to start doing things immediately with minimal support. Also, people with mastery in one language often prioritize figuring out how to do the same things in other languages if they switch.

Anyone can start coding in a different language, but it just takes that much more time in implementation and code reviews when they lack knowledge of:

- Standard libraries

- Builds

- Debugging

- Etiquette

- Performance gotchas

BUT - if you're going to ask for language expertise you better evaluate it in the interview, because years of experience is a garbage metric.

Put someone in front of their IDE and watch them build and debug exercises. i.e. how do people troubleshoot issues with dependencies, tracing, optimizations, etc. I wish more places would have -relevant- interview sessions about "OK, how much do you know about the tools you use?" Obviously if you're a applying for a position where perf expertise isn't important, it's not fair to ask you about GC internals.

Some people really struggle when it comes to tools or languages outside of their expertise. While I personally don't love working with these types, that doesn't mean they don't have value.

You can be a die-hard JVM guru who refuses to work full-time in any other non-Java language because you're productive as hell and don't want to spend months re-learning how to do everything again. Honestly, I'd much rather work with a team of these types than a team of people owning 5 microservices written in 7 different languages...

(P.S. I love Java for all the hate it gets here.)
> Why?

None of that.

Cats are obligate carnivores, their bodies don’t produce taurine.

And all animals need to eat something because none of us are photovores.

And some plants are carnivores.

If we colonise other worlds, rather than O’Neill habitats or mind uploads, we’re almost certainly taking the farms with us for the trip, not rely on local stuff.
The test plant is 5 years away, but yeah, net-gain in energy is the target.
I’m intrigued by what kind of code you’re finding is shorter and faster in JS. I’ve had the opposite experience, even limiting Clojure to a single thread.
> Okta is built as a top down sales organisation whereas Auth0 is built with a developer first bottoms up acquisition strategy. This allows Okta to get the best of both worlds.

Good luck with that. The CEO of Okta will have to be very very very smart to keep this atmosphere around Auth0. So easier to say that's it's not going to happen. When you are an enterprise company you don't buy a customer centric company to become them, you do the opposite. You make them become like you
Lowering the stock price is financially advantageous to some very rich people.
That sounds like a plus. :-)
Is there some way to contact you? I just wanted to say privately that I recognized how much thought and effort went into this, and I’m grateful you took your time to share it. But mostly, I was feeling kind of down today and wondering what your life was like, and how you ended up getting into smart contracts. No reason really, just saying hello.

You can DM me on Twitter if you’re on.
I did this exact thing when I got frustrated with Jekyll (and friends) and created Hugo. Of course, at the time all SSGs were in dynamic languages and very VERY slow.

Happy to see some Hugo ideas made it into Zola.
Read "Drawing with the right side of the brain". It teaches you how to see, which is the step before learning how to draw.
i also dislike the noise, but it's sometimes required to get stuff done (like repairing the pavement or mowing a lawn), and we should, as residents, accept that necessary tradeoff at appropriate times. noisy vehicles, however, aren't really so necessary (anymore), with the growing move toward hybrids/electrics.
> I'm kind of skeptical of formal verification.

This doesn't stand up. In the software world, both the Sel4 [0] and CompCert [1] projects have surprised researchers unaccustomed to encountering bug-free software. The non-verified alternatives to both systems were always found to be buggy.

For an interesting case-study on the use of formal methods, and their effectiveness, take a look at [2].

> your spec can still be incomplete or buggy

Spec bugs are possible, but empirically they're much less of a problem than ordinary implementation bugs. [2] has good discussion of this topic.

> At the end of the day, there's no substitute for extensive real-world testing.

That's backward. Testing is no substitute for formal methods. Testing is never exhaustive.

I don't think formal methods are often used in the complete absence of testing.

The confusing part is that the government has to maintain the confidence of the house, and is comprised of members of parliament.

Normally the government whips mean that parliament does whatever the government tell it to do, so "holds the government to account" is a laughable statement.

Unlike the US system where the president can easily not have the confidence of the Senate or House (R president, D House, D Senate for example), and appoints his own secretaries from a pool of 300+m people, in the UK, the prime minister appoints ministers from parliament (usually the house of commons but can appoint from house of lords). Technically the PM could make a new lord (like Blair did with Sugar), but it's convoluted, and conventionally the main jobs must go to MPs

Most people think "I like Boris, I vote for him as PM, he runs the country". In the last 5 years this has broken down and parliament has asserted itself more -- this independence was punished at the ballot box in December 2019.
> readily available game reviews tell me basically exactly what to expect.

this is why I actively avoid reviews for any media I might be interested in watching. I don't want any influence on my experience at all. I don't even let my friends tell me why they like a movie: if they recommend it, that's the most I want to know. It's awesome! I can pick something up like Nier or the first Avengers movie, and it's a completely immersive experience. I don't think it's difficult; it's not like reviews are some core part of life that can't be lived without. And I can't speak for you, but for me, not having reviews is part of the magic of gaming that I experienced as a kid: blindly choosing games to try based on cover art, the name, the studio, the console, etc. Building up my own idea of what the game will be like, making sense of the game as I experience it with no expectations, and finally forming my own opinion of it makes gaming feel like it did when I was a kid.

The exception is for games that I just never would have heard of. There are literally thousands of games out there, and if it's not modern, it's probably not going to be talked about. So I'll watch stuff like Ross's Game Dungeon or Civvie 11 to get a taste of older things that would be harder for me to stumble upon, and just keep a distant finger on the pulse of what's hot today, like Among Us or Fall Guys.

There's also minor stuff that I think people underestimate. When I play games, I don't have a second monitor with discord/netflix/youtube, I don't constantly text people. I just play and if I get bored, I take that as a sign that I need to work harder to figure the game out or just play a different game, like kids do. If you get stuck, try to find a PDF of the strategy guide instead of looking up youtube walkthroughs.

In my experience, gaming has always, continuously changed. There's some magic that older games have that new ones just don't, but there's also magic to newer games that older ones just don't. And there's also the player's ability to immerse themselves into the games. I try to be mindful and actively fine-tune the way I game and it's had great results for me whether I'm playing my childhood classics, experiencing old games for the first time, or jumping on the bandwagon of what's shiny and new.
This is a good start for the basics

because unlikely to be a bigger buyer later, so sell now or chase ipo. likely vc-controlled, so less risky to get the (winning) liquidity now.

once you hit a certain level, you run out of buyers, and thus lose much of your ability to sell at multiples over value... so effective price ceiling.

> What exactly is a "slaver society"? Dr. Seuss was born in 1904

Ok, and the Tulsa Race Massacre was in 1921. State-backed murder of black people for the crime of being successful. The south was clearly deeply unhappy about their loss of slaves and backed a set of increasingly "plausibly deniable" laws over time that were designed to segregate, undermine, and condemn to failure Black people in the USA.

If you really think "slaver society" is an overkill to describe an entire region of the USA with extremely racist ideals towards people they consider slaves, let's instead say "because they partook and perpetuated the darker side of a society that wishes they were still slavers". I'm so sorry I was slightly pedantic for you

> I don't believe it's appropriate that children learn to fear and ban ideas which they find distasteful

What kind of horseshit disingenuous representation of the situation is that? These Fox News - not legally a news corporation btw - talking points are so stupid. Once again, just like the "USSR book banning" fear mongering analogy above, you are acting as someone who pretends that a private business ceasing publication of books with societally repulsive views is somehow analogous to "banning ideas".

I hope children grow up and learn that condemning and removing from modern discourse historical or traditional views that no longer match up with the ethical framework of society is the only way we can continue to increase human rights in the face of governments and billionaires increasingly concerned with removing those.

Your framing doesn't follow from your logic in any way, and you don't play with pedantry particularly impressively.
Both left and right populism personalizes things.

Traditional leftist position is that evil is structural, class etc. People are people. Changing structures fixes problems.

Traditional right position is that structures don't matter, less the better. People are mainly poor because they are lazy. Corporations are evil because they have bad people in them. Remove those people and you fix things.
I just went to Stihl's site out of curiousity (and because most backpack blowers I see out in the world are orange) -- their biggest professional 4.4hp gasoline backpack blower is 912cfm @ 199mph avg.

Reality please don't bite me. This will probably be an Oxymoron :)

An interesting question, to me, is: how would you (personally) react if such an controversial and stigmatized factoid would be proven true at more than 5 sigma?

Would you be shocked? Or would you accept the outcome? And which of both would tell what of yourself?
>Woman says she's on birth control, isn't, and gets pregnant. Was the man raped?

Yes, 100%. Also she wouldn't have to get pregnant for it to be considered as such.

>Man says he's a millionaire, but isn't. Was the woman raped?

For that you would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the only reason why the woman slept with him was because she wanted to sleep with a millionaire.

Did she want to mark "Have sex with millionaire" off her bucket list? -> Rape

Did she want to have sex with him because she found him attractive and the millionaire part only played into this? -> Not rape
I think most people see acting entirely and solely in the pursuit of maximizing profits as evil and they use "corporations are evil" as a shorthand for that.

That evil behaviour from corporations is largely due to the focus on maximizing shareholder value to the exclusion of all else. That's a fairly recent way of running a business that came about around 1970, primarily from Milton Friedman.

I think most people expect a company to work towards healthy profits, while also taking into account all stakeholders, not just shareholders, their business interacts with.

You're right in the sense that the rules are the way they are, so corporations act within those rules. However, those rules were largely put in place to make it easier to pursue the maximization of profits and were pushed by corporate lobbying.

So, if an entity wants to act in an evil way, but is constrained by rules, then gets those rules changed so it can act evilly with impunity, surely that entity should be seen as evil?
Not getting a raise just because you have unexpected medical expenses or taking a pay cut after being laid off are hardly outlier examples.

Yeah, I wouldn't use my battery powered one for commercial purposes, but that is due to runtime and 120v charger. Unless you have a thick mat of wet leaves, 600cfm is more than enough for a homeowner.

The number I got for a 3hp model was based on a husqvarna I saw from a quick google search, I think... almost certainly a residential model.
Electric blowers are quieter than gas ones, and one generator is quieter than 3-4 individual gas engine lawn tools.
Well maybe because the cynicism is justified. Every week there's a new battery announcement and only rarely is it not hype.
It looks like a record, but its not vinyl. The record is metal and the recording is magnetic like a tape. No mention of lifespan, but this machine is from 1967 and still working. He says there are older ones as well.
There's a bell curve on each issue independently. This has been well established by surveys.

And therefore however you want to aggregate issues into an axis, you'll invariably find the political distribution to be normal.

It doesn't have anything to do with how coherent or not you find each party's platform to be.

So yes, it is fair to say that political views are bell curve-shaped. It's not an artifact of political parties.
re: regulation. This is the problem with fission. but not necessarily so with fusion. The reason is that unlike fission, where it's impossible to a small company to get a handle on fuel and build a fission plant in a less-regulated country, with fusion that becomes a lot more approachable.

But I am just as skeptical as you about the future of fusion and fission in the US and Europe.
Interesting. I wonder if Valve is building this so third parties can do the capital-intensive work of building up/out hardware (given that they're listing GeForce NOW as the only supported client), or if they're also intending to enter the market themselves.
Similar to your use case #2, I use Z-Library (and others) to get DRM-free versions of books I bought on Apple Books. Reason being: I can't trust that Apple won't go ebook-bankrupt like Microsoft did a few years back.
I'm not an artist by any stretch, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt. I'm also a Linux guy so Apple-y tools are not even options for me.

Inkscape has been huge for me. It's a wonderful tool and there are great tutorials out there. My GIMP skills actually improved just by learning Inkscape, but most importantly I can create basic art for my apps by myself now.

I also got a Wacom tablet that works with Linux and I use it with Krita. Since it can emulate a mouse there are tons of other applications I can use it with, even Miro.

Designing and drawing simple logos and icons has been most rewarding for me. I'll never be able to produce amazing art since I lack the skills and talent for it, but I can handle logos pretty well now!
>You can't retroactively remove consent.

Nobody is disagreeing.
Oh I agree that the article is very interesting. I never said otherwise.

I was using the resource of hyperbole. I _know_ that the article is more subtle than "lie -> no consent".
Through the two examples I was trying to say that IMO, the subject is more complicated than what the article suggests. It covers one aspect of consent (adult sexual relationships), applying principles from other areas (business transactions).

But if that principle is expanded into other areas (like TOS / tax code / law), the argument starts to become weaker. (Not stating that I disagree with it out right. Just that it's not as clear)
Since the reactors would ostensibly be continuously operating, the danger is the same. 10+ year half life is about as dangerous as 10000 years because you are always generating the waste.

This. Getting games working under Wine more often than not involved a research project where you figured out what exact version of Wine and what hacks you needed to make something run. Proton is basically just Valve doing all of the homework for you, which is awesome.

People want fusion because fission reactors leave long-lived radioactive waste, can melt down dangerously, and use the same fissile materials as nuclear weapons, making combating nuclear proliferation difficult.

That's why there are extremely high regulatory costs associated with fission reactors.

(I'm not saying we should wait for fusion reactors, but there's a lot of good reasons to develop them, and once fusion reactors are available there's a lot of good reasons to stop building fission reactors at that point.)
I had the exact same problem as you two years ago. I as very bad at design and drawing. So I decided that I would try to fix that. So I bought a book [1]. Basically you start with easy shapes, like an Apple, and you learn steps by steps more difficult things, like shades, ... The book works for 30 days.

At the end of the 30 days it was clear I progressed a lot. But it was also clear that I hated doing the challenge. So I gave up with drawing, but still recommend the book

Hi Chris, I am a very heavy Modelica user and having an equivalent system in Julia is very welcome. Using Sciml's solvers in our models would be a killer feature. Obviously, I am tempted to contrast ModelingToolkit.jl with Modelica and I have some questions, if you don't mind:

Could you elaborate on the design choice to model components as functions as opposed to objects ? functions seem compose well from your example but what about initial conditions and type safety ? In Modelica each component is an object where you can specify initial conditions inside each of them with constraints and can eventually make a big system, and if it compiles you can be reasonably confident you aren't mismatching units, missing outputs etc.

Do you have any plans for graphical representation ? Some of the systems I work on in Motorsports are absolutely massive with 150k equations, and having a diagram to see the connections are really helpful. An auto generated one from code would be more than good enough.

How do you handle FFI and interaction with other Julia objects inside ModelingToolkit.jl since it requires symbolic reduction ?

The FMI standard is a very popular export standard for these models. Any plans to support it here ?

I understand these are early days and I am very excited to know there's more on the pipeline. Thanks for your contribution.
Seconded. I always buy a book in print first, read it, and then acquire a digital copy for things I want to re-read or take notes on. If I could get eBooks some other way onto my Remarkable, I would. But the DRM makes it extremely difficult/impossible.
