> don't really refer to reality

The terms refer to an abstracted and coarse version of reality. They don't have zero utility, even if the criticisms are fitting.
I don’t treat the credentials for hacker news with the same level of care that I provide for my Bitcoin wallet.
The media is institutionally biased against Google and Facebook because they are 'direct competitors' in their heads. Don't get me wrong, there are issues with Big Tech, but I don't believe the news industry's collapse to be one of them. It's like arguing with the printing press or railroads galvanizing the dinosaurs of their era.
Not much we can do about that, I’m afraid. Most residential outlets are 15 amps, and to double them to 30 amps or convert them to 240V would require costly rewiring. And copper prices are sky-high these days.
Maybe niche where you live. Where I live (europe) every home has one.
Again no, it isn't. You are well entitled to believe Pascal is the best thing since sliced bread, but the two ideas are fundamentally different.

There is no type change. The function "tan" would return a value of type "Either<Error, double>". An expression such as:

double x = Math.tan(Math.PI / 8)

would fail the compile-time type check, because the type of the variable "x" is "double" and the type of the expression "Math.tan(Math.PI / 8)" is "Either<Error, double>".

It would be the responsibility of the caller to prove to the type system that the error has been handled, with either a built-in language facility a la ML, or with ad-hoc code such as a Bohm-Berarducci construction.

Let's just agree to disagree.
>Typically, vaccine manufacturing doesn’t begin until a candidate has proved to be both safe and effective in animal and human testing. In the past, that process could take ten years; Pfizer’s vaccine, which was developed in collaboration with BioNTech, a German biotechnology company, took a record ten months.

This seems terrifying to me, especially combined with the headline.

Perhaps the fact that the vaccines are "not available to everyone" is not such a bad thing.

Considering the risk the virus poses to young, physically fit people is extremely low should we really be pushing such a new and unproven medical procedure onto them?
Finding the right manufacturer is never an easy process. My approach varies depending on how tight my budget is and what I'm trying to manufacture.

If I have significant investment capital or lined up buyers on a high-margin product, I'd look for a US supplier on ThomasNet, at least to start, once you go through the small-run back and forth you can look to moving manufacturing overseas. I've had poor experiences with the "Alibaba Method" (finding a Alibaba seller w/ a similar product and then trying to get yours made or white label their existing product). Often times the sellers on Alibaba aren't the actual manufacturers.

For Electronics: Go right to China. https://www.pcbway.com/ is a great company for rapid, small-run prototypes. They are also reasonable at volume.

Injection-moulding, Extrusions: You often won't save significantly by looking overseas. Find a U.S supplier to start. Prototype with small-batch methods (3d printing, laser, milling).
One of the greatest misconceptions in all of Audiophiledom is the notion that measurements are objective.

Only if you regularly confuse empirical measures of your machine with subjective listener assessments of stuff you play through it -- which, as far as I can tell, is what the audiophile scene is defined by.

We can, should, and do make objective measurements of systems all the time. We then build a model (poorly or well) that attempts to relate changes in the system described by those measurements to changes in subjective perception by one or more listeners. At which point, a conscious human is in the loop, and all bets are off.

Every once in a while, what little of audiophile-woo that I have read almost reinvents double-blind psychometric studies. And then they don't quite get there, mostly.

There's already The Benchmarks Game and ixy-languages if you want hard numbers.

Maximum speeds are already explored. I wanted to discuss an aspect that's not typically covered by pure benchmarks: what can you expect from normal day-to-day use of these languages. Not fine-tuned hot loops, but a "median" you can expect when you just need to get shit done.

If I tried to write a benchmark code to represent average, practical, idiomatic, but less-than-maximally optimized code, I don't think anyone would believe me that's a fair comparison. So I describe problems and patterns instead, and leave it to readers to judge how much applies to their problems and programming style.
If you haven’t read the blog post already, give it a minute: https://blog.google/products/news/google-commitment-supporti.... It’s a mudslinging embarrassment.

I’m not a huge fan of the new rules, but it’s clear that they’ve scared Google to the point where their PR department is unable to moderate themselves anymore, a trend I’ve noticed with every large tech company when placed in a difficult position. Until you see more companies doing this I think it’s mostly safe to assume that any regulations you’re applying to them are toothless and just a cost of doing business.

I think the situation with grade inflation and loans, and the set of incentives in higher ed is a little more nuanced that you're portraying here. Universities have always had to compete for students, and the argument that the incentives pushing for student retention would disappear if student loans didn't exist seems speculative and unsupported.
Long-term propellant issue could probably be solved by using a cold-gas thruster with a non-reactive propellant - basically a pressurized gas tank welded to a valve and a nozzle. It should have enough Δv to push you into a graveyard orbit, or even deorbit straight from GEO (though that's probably dangerous, and I imagine you could see spectacular fireworks from the ground, as the satellite would be hitting the atmosphere with a couple km/s more velocity than it's typical).
That's what I say about most all commercial or "mainstream" sites.
>>What would that growth be after 25 years of constant 1% growth/year?

1.01^25 = 1.282 or 28.2% growth. Sounds like a good bet to try to grow economic activity in the region if the immigrants are typically educated and are net-positive contributors.

Canada's total fertility rate (TFR) is 1.47[1] which is well below the natural replacement rate of 2.1. I'm not blindly advocating that we grow at any cost, but it's important to note that as bad as the job situation seems to be across the country today, it feels like it would be much worse if our population continues to shrink indefinitely.

Japan's stagnation over the past couple of decades seems to be one possible path that would have awaited us if Canada hadn't take steps to increase the population.

> Amazon isn’t without fault either. The company dragged its feet for years in releasing a proper Prime Video app for Android in the Google Play Store. Previously, you had to install Amazon’s own, separate app store and only then could you install Prime Video. It was a sad, convoluted attempt at luring users to the Amazon Appstore. Even now, Prime Video still doesn’t support Chromecast.

> And that’s directly tied to Chromecast’s absence on Amazon.com. Since there’s no easy way of watching Prime Video, Amazon won’t sell it. But it’s Amazon’s own fault that Prime Video doesn’t work with Chromecast. Amazon has the power to make it happen. What’s Google supposed to do in this scenario?

> Amazon’s decision to remove popular, well-liked products from its store over this spat — or never sell them to begin with — is an ugly example of the company throwing its weight and power around. No one should be surprised that Google is crying foul. Is the company under any obligation to sell Google Home — the chief rival to its own Echo? Of course not. Them’s the breaks. But the Chromecast situation is troubling, and Amazon’s recent halting of sales for certain Nest hardware (with no real explanation) seems juvenile. Prime shipping is still a very powerful incentive, and Amazon is well aware of that.

Same here. Exactly my points on this great tool. Keep it up!
You have correctly identified it as FUD. People have a bone to pick with Pin, so they irrationally latch on to it, but the general problem is the fact that the &mut invariants cannot currently permit any self-referential data, which is a useful concept in general (for intrusive data structures, etc) and whose lack that people have been hacking around since before 1.0, with crates like rental and owning_ref. The plan to fix this is to make self-referentiality a first-class concept in the language, as a principled exception to the usual &mut uniqueness invariant that preserves memory safety while properly encoding the aliasing guarantees.
I've assumed its just a problem of demand for batteries exceeding supply. If a manufacturer can only make a small number of cars because they are restricted by battery supply then they are going to mark up the price to maximise their profit. As more battery supply becomes available the prices should fall.
> At the lowest level of the stack, the hardware must be able to provide a TEE (trusted execution environment) that isolates the code and data of a given confidential workload from any other code running in a system—including code running at the highest privilege levels. [...] This in turn requires a hardware root of trust to hold the platform root secrets and signing keys, and a public-key infrastructure to endorse these keys. [...]

Uh... no... what "the hardware must be able to provide" is a platform that I, the cloud user, trust. It's nice that the manufacturer installed some hardware key somewhere, but that just means the manufacturer can maybe trust this key. If the NSA or China wants my data, they'll just supply-chain-attack and replace whatever entity contains these keys with something else. The manufacturer might be able to determine that this replacement happened / trust is no longer established, but I can't.

And, unfortunately, supply chain attacks like this are exactly what we're seeing, e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...

NB: you don't even have to replace the TPM/Processor/... with an identical, tampered component. You just need something that behaves the same as far as I can see. It could be some huge-ass FPGA board programmed to emulate shit and I wouldn't be able to tell as long as they got the emulation right. After all I can't go physically inspect the server...

Hi team great idea, I’ve worked with credit card processing companies before on marketing efforts so if I can be of any value let me know.
Excellent answer but I will add that phenotyping eye color also adds noise - 23andMe relies on questionnaires and the users have some discretion in identifying their own eye color for example. And since the trait seems so polygenic you do need a ton of samples.

The computation complexity isn't as big a deal because the data here is genotyped not sequenced.
To be clear, ripgrep has no runtime dependency on any LLVM or C++ library. rustc does.

One of the best OO languages out there is Eiffel, value types, DbC, MI, generics, lambdas, non-nullable references, a very nice graphical editor, JIT for development and AOT toolchain that pings back into the C and C++ compilers of the host platform.

Java and .NET are still catching up to what it offered in 2000.

Sadly it never got a big name sponsor to push it.

I have a pet peeve about font licensing.

Typographers struggle to make a living in most cases, but yet they don't offer better font licenses. I don't understand why they don't make it simple single license term for all usecases and make a sale. It's masochistic.
I started using Wayland about a month ago on both my work computer and my laptop (On Pop_OS! 20.10). After seeing too much graphical glitches and weird behavior, specially because Alacritty (my favorite terminal) did not have any window decoration (I read through the whole issue on Gnome's issue tracker for server side decoration and got a little disappointed), I stopped using it on my work PC. But still I'm using it on my laptop. I haven't had any issues there, but I just use my laptop for some web surfing and zoom.
Screen capture is a hassle too. I was trying to capture only a part of my screen and had to do an hour worth of research to finally decide to just switch to X.org and get the job done.
It's great that Flameshot is now supporting Wayland, and it's great that it is trying to support all the common protocols.
Its not difficult at all. We just moved bunch of usecases from snowflake to pinot. All I had to do was s3 export from snowflake and import into pinot.

I've never seen a 20 A plug on an appliance, even though every kitchen less than 20 years old is fitted with 20 A outlets. Probably because manufacturers don't want to make them because most kitchens still only have 15 A outlets. If I ever build my own house I'll probably fit a 240 V outlet in the kitchen for an imported kettle.
The github discussion thread where that originates from also contain the language designers optimistically discussing how in the worst case `Pin` just has to be hardcoded to exclude these optimizations. Which wouldn't make it the first type in the std lib that works similary (see interior mutability and UnsafeCell), so I personally intepret that as "unlikely to be an issue".
I believe in type systems as a way of knowing how data is encoded in memory. I don't expect them to somehow prevent me from writing that memory location more than once.
"so" as in implies? No, someone made an explicit choice to compromise the education in favor of accessibility and it has caused tons of issues.
Most companies that survive longer than a few years go through rebranding exercises. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Zendesk, and Slack all did. I wouldn’t overindex on getting it right the first time.
The licenses are absolutely required in the more sparsely populated areas in Europe, going without license is only possible in major metropolitan areas.

Europe just places a relatively high bar for driving skills. You do see the outcome in road safety and much more orderly driving behaviour (with the usual caveat that Europe is diverse and this applies more to some regions than some others yadda yadda).

This! I have a nice hackable ESP32 clock (Lilygo TTGO T-Watch-2020) that apparently is wired so that it can go to deep sleep and wake up on button press. Except all code samples use intimidating big library supplied by manufacturer which seems not to support it. The reason I discerned is that all intended use cases include wifi connection maintenance.

So, the battery needlessly dies in a day.

Agreed! I used to work for a Microsoft owned game studio a while back, and during their Microsoft <3 Linux campaign, or shortly after, I noticed that xbox.com wouldn't work on Linux, unless I changed the user-agent to Chrome-windows or Chrome-Macos

Loves Linux but blocks Linux by user agent. Nice.

They changed it tho when we contacted them, so I guess there is some love, at least they were willing to change (when it impeded their own developers).

While true, that's a separate point about marketing on the internet today. The person I was replying to was saying how traditional tech is allergic to crypto because of the hype machine.

I'm saying, if you dig beyond the hype machine, you'll find plenty of hard core tech and tech adopters that you found in previous platforms, like PC and internet.

OP apparently cares about the underlying technical details. I'm saying if he/she looks deeper, they'll find what they're looking for.

I’m jealous of Haskell’s ‘where bindings’ [1], even if only to push what in (say) Python would be an assignment to below its use, so that more important things come first. You could have multi-line functions that look like ‘return...where:’ and I’d love that.

Agreed - in fact the term hobo just meant a traveling worker back in the Great Depression and most hobos would take offense at being characterized as deadbeats - they were in fact out to make an honest living for themselves in the face of considerable economic hardships at the time. I was just being whimsical as to the mental picture I get whenever I think of all the craziness on social media.
It read to me like a breakdown in communication. It wasn't made clear what the interviewer was going to get out of having the candidate solve fizzbuzz. The candidate demonstrated that they understood the question well enough. But it seems they wanted to demonstrate the technologies they were familiar with, rather than give a simple answer.

From the interviewer's inner monologue it seems clear he wanted to prove the candidate had the most basic of skills for the job. It may not have been in the candidates mind that she was being asked such a simple question.
I am a big fan of read-only rootfs. But for some third party containers it may be challenging to apply this. In most cases it is not a big deal but sometimes you end up with a bunch of tmpfs mounts for those paths where it is required.
