Design patterns aren't recipes, they're common applications of techniques. The use of gelatinized starch as a thickener for sauces (i.e. a roux) could be considered a "cooking pattern".
You can get a cubicle if you stick to old tech software development. I had an employer who had nice 6 ft tall cubes with two desks per office to store the accumulated piles of equipment we had for firmware dev. Some genius had the idea to shrink us down to smaller cubes with half height walls to "modernize". Thankfully that was shot down by someone with enough sense to realize the chaos this would cause.

I don't, because the fees are upwards of $10-12 pre-tip around here. I'd rather just drive to the grocery store, it's like a 20 minute round-trip but then at least I know I have the groceries now and not in 2-3 hours.
Linus learned all of this over the years, and optimized it over time. He's great at it now, but was pretty rough at first -- but he was never an actor, he was a geek that loved technology. He worked for a large computer reseller that gave him lots of resources when he was starting.

He actually built this in spite of all the production resources that Vancouver has to offer, and is more a "growth hacker" than actor I'd say.

The “benefit” is that Pearl’s causality is reinventing the wheel, and his approach is a smokescreen for this. Causal inference has been a thing in statistics since the 1930s. There is absolutely nothing Pearl has developed here that makes a practical difference when it comes to actually establishing causality over methods we’ve had for a century. So to prop up his contributions to the causal “revolution”, he attempts to paint a picture where statisticians are a hopelessly backward, regressive group, and hopes the uninitiated won’t know any better. It seems like he has largely succeeded.

It's not about agreement or disagreement, it's about monopolies.

I am fine if the government takes away the freedom of corporations to grow arbitrarily large.

I am also fine with the government making corporations choose between the ability to grow arbitrarily large and the ability to kick off users without due process.

There's no need to take any freedoms away from normal-size companies.
I do prefer function over fn. I use a modern predictive text completions IDE with fuzzy typing, I don’t care if the keyword has 20 characters. I much prefer explicit keywords for readability. I think the struct, trait, impl, and fn relationships and differences are not only weird and intimidating, the shortened names add to the large barrier for entry.
That's like the purpose, man. Wikipedia wouldn't be what it was if it didn't do that. In CS, we have these things called DSLs (domain specific languages) and usually one strives to not make them Turing complete because the restrictions give you advantages in reasoning.

Wikipedia's strength is that it represents the viewpoints shown by (relatively) famous sources.
Love the name lol
What manufacturer are you thinking of?

I don't think that stuff is very satisfying as an explanation, even though it sounds like the standard "common sense" explanation.

Why is inflation supposed to be such a problem, if stock splits aren't? Cutting a pizza into more slices doesn't make it bigger, but doesn't make it noticeably smaller either. Changing prices isn't that hard now we have computers, and most people don't keep their savings in cash, either electronic or paper.

I'm not saying inflation is not a problem, but I think the standard explanation has a lot of holes. One has to come up with a more subtle analysis.

And also, how come you quote Friedman as saying that money supply growth causes inflation and then you say no it doesn't, although it's correlated? Do you think that inflation causes the money supply to grow? Or is it a third "X factor"?
Thanks for sharing. Here's a horror: No Child Left Behind and it's progeny, Common Core, have maximized standardization of the curriculum component, starving teachers and institutions of funding and flexibility of time to offer any form of education for students who would benefit from it.

Gatto is right--our system is a machine. And it produces quite a bit of literacy at low cost to the people who need it. It also fails to solve problems that it could.
I am pleased to hear it but a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Elsevier will cease being a publisher first when they stop selling access to journal articles. Until then they are a publisher first and an "analytics" firm second, regardless of corporate messaging.
The behavior and aesthetics of this site reminds me of designs of artists who typically design for print. Fully constrained width, zero use of content reflow, yet theres a 'finished' look to the design (multiple columns, alternating figure placement).

Agreed. Of note is that the compile time features of Zig works towards Rust's goal of zero cost abstractions as well.
So it sounds like there’s a demographic component. You don’t but other people do. You are price and time sensitive but others may not be.

The problem with Floatplane is that new creators who have ideas and skills but aren’t publishing elsewhere online (e.g., because they dislike the ad-driven model and don’t want their videos to appear alongside junk content) have nothing in terms of online optics that they could put into the application form—so they’d have to either support the likes of YouTube first by publishing there, or be capable of running their own site. I wish Floatplane charged a moderate fee upfront rather than having the vetting/review flow (which could still be an option for those who can’t afford the fee).
MWI makes the very strong claim that the Schrödinger equation is sufficient to explain observations that do not naturally fit into its framework, such as wavefunction collapse and the Born rule.

You can simplify any theory by throwing out half its postulates. But now your theory has less explanatory power. The critiques of MWI are that it cannot explain observations.

For example, consider the recent article on generating random bits through quantum fluctuations with a laser. MWI, like the Schrödinger equation, is fully deterministic; there is no randomness. The bits are not random in MWI. How to reconcile these?

I'm not sure, frankly, but I think there's a connection. A more sexless society is also a society with a lower overall birthrate. When the pressures of urbanization and modern life mean few people choose to have children while the trends in the article and in many of these comments show that people are less likely to accidentally/serendipitously become pregnant as well combine to somewhat drastically reduce the birthrate.
Lametube is a communist company that cancels those that rebel against the cabal. Only sheeps and communist scums use lametube. Red-pilled, grown up people use free speech platforms like rumble.

ISO Working Groups that want their Standards known and used publish a "Final Draft International Standard" ahead of the ISO, that differs from ISO's only on the cover page. For examples, SC22/WG14 C Programming Language and SC22/WG21 C++ Programming Language both do this.

The other information you need is Defect Reports, which contain point revisions to address problems found after FDIS publication. These are also available online.

They probably mean they don’t like it being used to describe things they like being made ‘incorrect’ and taboo. Or at least a certain segment of our culture has if not themselves.

Being politically correct these days can be an exercise in sanity. That’s why all the big corps are hiring expensive professional firms to do progressive campaigns (even the cigarette companies here in Canada have “diversity and inclusiveness” on the lighters they sell hwith their cigarettes). There’s good money in helping the megacorps, academia, and gov agencies fit in with the young university crowd.

It’s like a race to include more and more things so it’s best to go hard as possible early to not be left behind. Especially when you don’t have to actually do anything real to help the groups IRL... just change your language and run the right ad and social campaigns. And not say the “wrong” things today, even if it was decades ago.

Apparent the “real” help and change (you know, things besides performative acts) will come as a product of these megacorps becoming politically correct in the modern sense.
I doubt the people high up the ladder think themselves without conscience. Quite the opposite.

I got this guy's "book" off Amazon back when he was taking them to Kinko's to be printed up. His is a fairly remarkable story of curiosity which I have always enjoyed. He even signed it for me.

What is not often pointed out is that he managed to reason his way into understanding to various points, and the process of doing so revealed information that is otherwise still classified.

As a teen in Las Vegas in the 70's we could "feel" the underground tests, and I was always fascinated by the test site. I even managed to snag a summer internship there (inadvertently[1]) when I was in college.

I know folks who worked at Sandia and Lawrence Livermore who found the book fairly remarkable.

[1] The job offer was for the contractor facility in Las Vegas but my clearance had not come through so they bused me to an unclassified facility at the test site to do the work.
He's still OK.

In fact sales are through the roof thanks to people being dumb about the story.
I agree with your core sentiment on movies - but I couldn't disagree more on the topic of TV having reverted to the mean.

It may not all be "Sopranos", but I've seen so many TV shows in the past decade that have pushed boundaries and delivered experiences that frankly, have hit me much harder than almost any movie - and certainly much harder than pre-netflix era TV.

I know everyone has different taste, but I think we've seen a lot of maturation in the past decade specifically in the form of more interesting TV anthology series / single-season narratives (True Detective, Fargo, Watchmen) and dark-ish comedies (Rick and Morty, Barry, American Vandal, Succession). I think networks in general are giving show-runners more space and budget for trying weird stuff, because even if they end up with a show that's too niche for a general timeslot - there's at least the possibility of selling it to a streaming service later (like Arrested Development, The Expanse, and Community did).

I think the real issue is that NFTs are really a secondary to the data they're certifying (i.e. the art). In the same sense that "stealing" means something different in the digital world, "ownership" also means something very different. Ownership of physical goods precludes other people owning them. There is only one original. Ownership of a digital good does not preclude other people "owning" it in the sense that they have one they can use/view/whatever.

The only thing you "own" in the physical goods sense of precluding other people from using it, is the NFT itself. It is exclusively assigned to you, other people can't conceptually say they own it.

Another example of how that divide manifests is how would someone show off their NFTs? Art is easy, hang it on the wall conspicuously with canister lights. You could do the same with an NFT piece, or you could put it on your profile or something, but anybody can do that. You're not showing off your NFT, you're showing off the art. Your NFT is just a jumble of cryptographic data. It has to be random for functional reasons, I presume, so it's not like the author can make your NFT a piece of art in and of itself.

Hi Vinh! Congrats on your users!

I have been taking a look and have to say I am very interested and would like to better understand your product and the market you're in.

From my understanding, your product covers well my use case, a personal domain with infinite aliases for many purposes, such as unique emails for different services. Until now, I have used both G Suite and Office 365 (my current one) paying usually $5/month. Both required some tweaking to allow catch-all email with the main limitation: only being to send email from the main address, or I haven't dig deep enough to find it. Besides that, sending email from my main address (contact@domain.com) is very important, along with the integrated calendar. Pricing would be the main factor for me to migrate, specially because I don't live in the USA and these $5 amount to something larger in my country. In that case, the $1 plan is not enough for me because I am not able to send emails and $6 is too expensive, considering that with G Suite or Office 365 I get a whole other package, such as storage (specially 1TB on OneDrive) and office apps. Do you have any plans in this front?

Also, using your own SMTP servers, how often have you had to deal with being flagged as spam? From a newgrad perspective there's a whole culture on how managing your own email servers is a nightmare. How do you handle that (the spam issue) and also other things such as hardening your servers against malicious actors?

Lastly, have you considered making the process easier to send email from multiple addresses? For me, this would be amazing, although I don't know if I value it enough to pay more than the previous $5 for it. Being contacted through an alias, such as service@domain.com, and answering from contact@domain.com usually sucks and adds noise to the conversation.
She means the average weight, all-muscle physique for men and she means more or less my physique for women. My only serious argument is that some women no doubt have the barely-underweight-for-size physique without dieting.

This must be a retro throwback, or an ongoing list that hasn’t cleaned out the old stuff.

Number two recommendation is TrueCrypt.

ClipX, Launchy, clonedrive, and other tools have been superseded by built-in OS functionality. And who has an optical drive anymore, anyway?

Interesting study of functionality that’s been absorbed into Windows over time, though.
Wanted to add this RE the shower scene in Starship Troopers:

"Two nude scenes were kept in the original version (the co-ed shower and a bedroom scene with Rico and Dizzy), although these were modified in the broadcast version. The cast agreed to do the co-ed shower scene only if Verhoeven agreed to direct the scene naked, which he did. Verhoeven found it strange "Americans get more upset about nudity than ultra-violence. I am constantly amazed about that. I mean, I haven't seen any sex scenes in American film that are anything other than completely boring. A bare breast is more difficult to get through the censors than a body riddled with bullets."

In my area it doesn't make much sense as (a) most of the grocery stores are open and are rarely crowded anymore (b) free curbside pickup is offered through the store app.

From the local nextdoor and facebook groups it seems like a solution for busy parents or elderly who would rather not go to a store.
I saw the interview you're talking about and I admit I respect it.

He had two choices: cowardly pretend it's not his fault or admit that given all he knew, he took a risk to break it or make it and broke it.

You don't know how liberating hearing a guy like that say that. In my company, no way someone says that, they'd rather do absolutely nothing than risk anything.

Tech is not a single sector, but it is a single method of doing things. In the same sense that factories exist in more than a single sector, but it largely disappeared at the same time with offshoring.

If, hypothetically, all the issues with having development teams cheap parts of the world went away, that would impact almost all of tech. It hasn't happened yet, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
Yea, I don't think I've really been under that gun either.

About the closest I came was when working in telecom, for a new tech deployment I had my hands pretty deep in the lab environment, so when things were broken in the lab, bad config, etc I would get pulled in troubleshoot and solve the problems.

Well one day 911 wasn't working in the lab and the problem got thrown my way, and it wasn't an obvious problem like someone miss configured something or broke some config somewhere. In telco at the time it was all vendor driven solutions, so I intentionally left the system broken to bring in the vendor to troubleshoot, and it was clear, this is a lab, let's not treat it like production and as such we don't need immediate recovery, we want to get to the root cause so it doesn't happen in production.

The next day, the handset verification team was on me, saying they need this to work immediately since they need to validate some device by such and such date. And I basically said listen, there's a software problem in this product, and we don't want it to go to production. And if I don't get it fixed it could blow up in production on us. I also told them if I don't make progress in a day or two, I would try and reconfigure another environment for them so they would get unblocked, but otherwise was not willing to just reset this system so the problem went away.

I was also doing my own investigation as much as I could since the vendor wasn't always the most reliable, and I encountered something unexpected. It looked like a node was rebooted, so I tracked that down, and found a senior architect who new I was working on solving the issue had rebooted one of the blades. His answer was basically the device team was complaining so he just went in and rebooted the node so they would stop complaining to him.

Luckily, he didn't know enough on how to really reboot the system, so it just synced back with it's backup and still had the problem for us to investigate.

The vendor comes back and goes ah yea, the 911 handler is using the wrong memory region for storing emergency calls, so instead of being able to allocate a hundred thousand records or whatever it was for active emergency calls it was using an administrative region that could only allocate something like 5 calls. This was enough years ago that I forget the exact number, but it was less than 10. Not just that, but there was a second bug, a certain 911 call flow would allocate the call but not release it, which is why we couldn't make any 911 calls in the lab, we had leaked all of the reserved memory for emergency calls.

I just remember being so livid, because the culture for anyone who dealt with that system was it's failure is just in their way, so lets just escalate and try and make it go away so we can continue on with our jobs.

And it would've been so easy to just reset the whole thing so that people would stop complaining. It was just a lab after all.
This is a very temping device. How does it compare to the remarkable2 in terms of syncing and connectivity?

The only thing holding me back from the RM2 is lack of OneNote. I wish MS would get on board.
1. Strong liquidity position from several recent rounds of fundraising so they do not need the cash

2. Well recognized brand amongst the investor class / product serves the investor class (similar to a Peloton) so the company would not suffer from a lack of recognition that may plague a Snowflake or Databricks. Allows investors to get comfortable with the story more quickly and through an accelerated process rather than your traditional testing the waters period + roadshow

3. Diversified cap table with many well-known long only and mutual fund names invested already involved
Such an amazing course it is. Loved it.

No we don't. If the criteria to compete is "you can have high testosterone or testicles but not both", that's not drawing a line between transgender women and cis women.
