Long compilation time can hurt developer productivity as they need to wait longer to test the code they just wrote. It doesn't slow the developer as much as having to write the code themselves, but it's still slower than paying the cost at the execution time (in many cases, anyway).
I think a big challenge here is single family housing with a yard is by far the most desirable housing in the US.

I doubt folks would accept a significantly more dense living if they were the engineers of tomorrow. They’d expect the single family home and yard for their work.

Where in the USA is this not a challenge? Single family zoning is everywhere and existing residents in most American cities have little reason to want that to change.
It's not linking to real world items, but to digital assets.

But it doesn't really.

I learned the other day that NFT standards don't even store a hash of the digital asset.

So, ransomware will wipe out a lot of NFTs one day, because the blockchain smart contracts dont know (have any cryptographic proof) what digital asset they hold.

So you think that disallowing access to word processor files to zip and unzip, or backup utilities, or ... is a perfectly reasonable way of doing things?

Because that's what we do on the web. Every app only has access to it's own files and 10 or so standard clipboard formats (and ONLY through the clipboard).
I’ve been thinking about my kid’s first computer and something in this ballpark is interesting. More hackable than iPad, not quite the complexity of a laptop. Not sure this one is quite right’ especially compared to the Pi400, but nice to have the tablet form factor.
I'm sure it has been stated before but I do wonder why e-ink displays remain still so out of reach even though the sort of parents that were encumbering them have expired? It really does seem that anything that involves e-ink panels comes with a huge markup.
Thank you so much! :-)

It looks awesome and I am about to try it out!
they are titled engineer if that's what their diploma says, which is indeed not that rare, and maybe paires well with software engineers fresh out of college who fail fizzbuzz (as mentioned before in this thread), precisely because so much of software engineering is glueing packages together.

I'm not saying that's a bad development. It's just what it is, probably follows a smooth bell curve distribution of expertiese. The hard stuff is just, like, really hard (as is English!)
Maybe they assume SEC hated Elon, and therefore SpaceX too? Either way, citation needed

Wikidata (Wikipedia's younger structured data semantic web resource) has entries for 13,000+ philosophers -- an order of magnitude more than the largest and most complete encyclopedia of philosophy which by my reckoning is not the SEP (as people seem to think here) but Macmillan's Encyclopedia of Philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Philosophy

Give that the "Print Edition is $1693 as of May 2017" the SEP is slightly cheaper.

How did they achieve that enormous amount? Through the collaborative magic of the Wikipedia model.

I wrote a UI builder for OS/2 PM that targeted PM or Windows. It also had supporting libraries and code generators that let you pick many standard formatting and validation functions as well as hook in your own. That was around 1990.

Why are we still only specifying the layout in this day and age? We should be able to spec most of an application 'in the UI builder' and only add the data processing parts, even the network access or persistence should be wired for us.
ML systems will struggle when the question itself is ill-posed.

A human can say “I’ve been instructed to group these data into those categories, but this particular example doesn’t fit into any them.” and then devise a way to handle special cases.

By construction, an ML system can’t. At the end of the day, a classifier needs to assign one of the predefined labels to each example. At best, it might give you a confidence value, or a probability distribution over labels. However, interpreting those is usually outside of the system itself.
This government-adjacent people rediscovery Nix / Guix. So yes the current phrasing is bit vague in that they are just grasping at the concept via draft requirements. But you can't fault their intuition, as those tools do exact and are absolutely revolutionary.

Same same same same same! A lot of positive things have happened in the last year, met my first serious girlfriend (and living together now!), got two cats, moved to a larger apartment.

Transitioning has enabled all that. I wouldn't have gotten cats alone, I didn't experience romantic feelings prior to taking hormones.

Am so so much happier now
I've always believed that most crimes are committed more because of the thrill of it, the desire to feel like you got something extra illicitly because you're more clever and ruthless than everyone else, etc, than because of a rational evaluation of the financial upside.

Here is something I did that actually worked.

I had the same issue, and I was new to the company. The guy looked like he hated my guts. So I tried to look for something he really wanted and did him a favour. This could be anything really. Then I tried building relationship slowly and it worked. If you go to your manager now, he may think you are not ready for leadership. Sometimes you have to deal with issues by yourself.

If you tried everything, then try and have a talk with your manager. But before you go to see her/him, be prepared to explain the issue and the solution. Otherwise you will be seeing as the "complainer" who can't work with other people.

I will be refusing to return to the office for several reasons:

1- the threat of Covid is not going away in the next 2-3 years. I am no risking it!

2- I and everyone in my team have been more effective, less stressed working from home for more than a year now. Why would I go back to a less efficient way of work?
I don't think so. Accelerators like YC are less appealing these days, at least to me. IMO this also has to do with tech startups being more mainstream than they were 10+ years ago. With how the startup space has evolved, the value YC offers over bootstrapping or other funding options is less than it was previously. Even the pedigree has dwindled. I used to be impressed with all founders/companies coming out of YC, but now the market seems so saturated that it's nothing special. When I look at YC companies they are typically boring - the same old, over and over again. That's not to say they are bad businesses, but they don't seem as "contrarian" or innovative as they were a decade ago and I don't think a truly innovative company would want to attend or fit into YC (or any accelerator).
Server logs are already full with calls to post to different pages, or php scripts of vanilla wordpress installations as attackers try to find vulnerable sites. Wouldn’t a SBOM make the bad guys job easier? If you are a bad actor or a malicious state actor who has just gotten hands on a new exploit the SBOM would give you an instant menu of a available hackable sites. A B2B vendor or Saas vendor can definitely make their stack available to clients upon deal negotiations, but putting it on the open web is also asking for trouble.

Note this is the "fully contained Guix pack" (a bit like a container) which contains all the recursive dependencies, which includes WebKitGTK, GTK and the like.

Hope this turns into the prodigal open source flash replacement.
You can, but, IME, the practical benefit of doing so generally isn't proportional to the cost. It's just something you do if you have strong feelings about type discipline and are willing to sink a bunch of time into soothing them.

It may have to do with the types you're using. When I'm doing EDA, I'm usually zooming past the arrays and dicts as quickly as I can, and making a beeline for something like Pandas that lets me manipulate the data more easily. Pandas is fairly pretty resistant to static typing, and getting over to something that does play nicer with static typing tends to also necessitate a lot of wheel reinvention. Tends to also bring a performance cost, too, since I'm often losing a lot of nice fast multithreaded C++ implementation for a mess of pointer chasing and GIL.
Good on you for getting out and showing your kids that it is ok to leave a bad relationship (even if they don't realize that is what you are doing at the time).

My father married a woman (my stepmother) who was abusive and manipulative and it took him awhile to be decisive and leave.

I didn't appreciate how hard it was for him to leave at the time and blamed him for part of it.

Now (a couple decades later) I am just grateful we got out at all.

Your kids might not realize everything that is going on right away. From my experience, there is a good chance they will see all you did for them one day.
This is so much on point. Pardon me if this text reads too much as a rant, but as a young, rational person, the events of the past weeks and months have really changed my perspective on politics and Europe overall.

Besides the direct effects of COVID, realising how utterly hypocritical and ineffective both national and EU level politics are has me feeling trapped. It has also completely changed my view of Angela Merkel. No leadership what so ever. What's more, there seems to be no other way to escape this system other than to emigrate from the EU.

While I think the text errs on one fact (Germany afaik followed most other EU nations instead of leading the pack of suspenders), the fact that vaccines were suspended at all really showed the extent of the whole failure of politics and institutions, not only in a medical, but in a democratic way.

I think it's quite obvious that besides any worthy medical considerations, the suspensions were politically consciously made to appease right wing and anti vaxxination nut jobs - a tiny but vocal minority. The - voluntary (!) - option for elderly citizens to protect oneself from a deadly virus, which is causing social end economic hardship on a scale seen once in a hundred years was taken from any other citizen to... mitigate a tiny medical risk and appease a tiny minority which most likely will not be convinced to get a shot anyways.

It's hard for me to put into words just how crazy this fact is if one lets it sink in a little bit. Post truth politics, driven by fringe nuts. That's what the EU has come down to.

Germany's conservative governing party CDU/ CSU is at it's lowest ratings ever (27% atm) and there is a real possibility that for the first time in decades, they might not make the cut in September's federal elections to form the next government.

For all the differences with the US political system where it seems party lines are so much valued they have turned into trenches, I am left wondering if and how such a systematic mess can even be changed by a change in a governing party while the anonymous, unelected (EU) bureaucrats pretty much stay where they are.

When do the Pixel Qi / One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) / XO-PC screen patents expire? :) Why not both? :)

Update: oh holy shit, John Gilmore was a Pixel Qi investor, bought the patents to help the company close cleanly rather than go bankrupt, and licenses the patents with an generally-available Defensive Patent License[1]! What a story!!! Thanks John! Pixel Qi is from ~2010, so he's better than halved the time it took to get this amazing technology legally accessible to the world. The gotcha is that it's a somewhat "copy-left" gnu like license, so anyone unwilling to open some of their own patents for use (or not holding patents) is going to have to go to John to get these built, until these patents expire.

Just a quick word on the Pixel Qi screen, it's a LCD screen with a normal transflective mode, but it can also switch into a reflective black and white mode that works great outdoors. 10" 1024x600 screens go for a bit over $100 today.

Umm.. virtually no join on tables with more than a handful of rows is done as a cartesian product. A suitable set of columns is used to sort or hash each side of the join, such that the actual join logic is basically linear performance (each row in table A is probably only ever paired with approximately 1 row in table B when evaluating the predicates). A cartesian product would involve testing the predicates on every combination of A and B (each row in table A being paired with each row in table B)

(Note when I say linear performance, I mean the join predicate is executed a linear amount of times, but the initial sort/hash operation was probably more like O(n log n))
Depends on where you on how "toll" is being used. In Texas, the "tolls" are most definitely not taxes. Taxes mean the government is the recepient of that money. In Texas, the toll roads are owned by private companies. When the gov't ran the tollways, the tolling was removed when enough money from tolls was raised to cover the cost of building the road. Now, they are privatized, and the toll will never be removed.
There's demand for murder-for-hire, too. So what?
Ground based debris tracking (military and private [Leo Labs]) can provide excellent rough estimates where orbital de orbiting systems should look to hone in on with sensors. From there, use lasers to ablate or push with photons direct debris to more optimal de orbit trajectories. Your cleanup volume is limited by the equipment service life and energy budget (more platforms, faster cleanup).

You’re right a private company isn’t going to do this for free unless it’s to protect their own orbiting assets, and a sponsor or several would need to be found for this “commons cleanup”.

Type inference solves a different problem - it doesn’t help you here. For example

type Money {
amount: Amount,
currency: Currency
}

Money(USD, 10) + Money(EUR, 10) # what type should be inferred here?

A runtime exception maybe?

(There’s no “best” answer here, a runtime exception might be the pragmatic choice but i like the Map<Currency, Amount> solution to this).

Just look at Nix.

Here's the thing, having the sellers of unfree software compile the code for is a terrible skeuomorphism from the way traditional products are made. The final integrator should be the one building the code even for propriety0 and unfree software, whose secretiveness should be enforced with contracts not obfuscation and baking in specific dependencies.

The fact that the finally compilation graph, and the IP procurement graph have some similarities should just be a coincidence.
The simple answer to this of course is you do not "de-orbit anything large". In fact, such a thing is catastrophically wasteful since anything of significant mass that has already paid the heavy kinetic energy toll required to get itself to orbit should be recycled for construction material. The economics work out very differently from the ground where normally the energy required to recycle something far exceeds that required to get a fresh supply.

Anything too small for such use or too small to be directly targeted with ablating lasers (as another commentor suggested) can be de-orbited with normal light. It just takes a tiny amount of net momentum to send something on crash course for the atmosphere and since most debris lie on fairly well defined orbital bands, we can use reflectors to bath those swaths of space with enough light to gentle push anything there into oblivion.

For anything that lies outside those bands, by the time we have enough infrastructure up there for those to have any significant chance of collision, we will likely have launch assist technologies like rotavators and orbital rings which means that station and vessels hulls can be made far thicker than the necessarily spartan standards of today.

Sadly, software is not (usually) that composable. If godot is a better engine all around, it would mean that competitors could offer a better service by just running godot in the cloud and charge per access, which they may be able to do for a cheaper price as they had very low initial investment.

This seems like it must reflect that the job isn't that difficult to do, or something like that. With many other highly qualified professionals in specialist roles, you can't get away with this behavior as much because they can easily find a better employer.

I had to make a long distance move right after the DST change. I knew that the drivers on the road would be at higher risk of fatal accidents than at other times of the year, so I was extra cautious. I would speed up to pass the trucks which were serving out of their lane. One truck was consistently swerving and speeding past me after I had already passed, and they even road rage honked their horn at me one time. Guess which company's smile logo was plastered across the truck?

I know truck drivers in general are pressured to meet deadlines at the expense of sleep, but this driver seemed like they were more sleep deprived and stressed than the normal truck driver. They seriously need to treat their employees better, for the sake of public safety. And America needs to get rid of this contractor loophole. They're employees, even if Amazon likes to pretend that they aren't.
depends on what dictionary you use. Merriam-Webster says it is a tax. macOS dictionary does not define toll as tax, but says it is a synonym.
Well, at some point you cannot blame a store for the postal services abuse on their own workers, but in Amazon's case this is their service, not an completely independent external service. These are the 2 sides of the problem and this tells who is responsible.

>why are "counterfeit" cards worthless?

They're not worthless, they're worth less. I could easily hang up a counterfeit Mona Lisa on my wall and get a kick out of it. And if I stop getting a kick out of it, I can put it on Craigslist for $100 afterwards.

Of course, there's absolutely no history behind the painting as it wasn't painted by the renaissance man. No one would pay to see it because it would be about as significant as a JPEG of the Mona Lisa. However, that doesn't mean that it's worthless. Even that JPEG can make for a good phone wallpaper.
If you define "care" as in, "random updates cause enough instability that they make alternate OS's favorable for accomplishing the same tasks," I'd cite Windows autoupdate as fairly hard evidence that people don't care.

I imagine MS has crunched the numbers at some point, and decided that the amount of lost work and interruptions due to forcible updates (especially contrasted with the benefits of updates) is not causing a significant number of people to ditch their OS for a competitor.
Thanks for the feedback. Some answers:

- You can press `enter` instead of typing "default" in full if it's selected.
- Running `vi-normal-mode` enables VI bindings in the current buffer only. If you want to enable them everywhere, you can use the graphical confiuration menu that's presented on startup.

- `tab` inserts the current selection in the input. Do you mean something else?

I used to be a mechanic and the analogy fits. Rich people drive into the shop and bark at you to "just fix it." They don't care about any of the minutia but it had better work they way they envision it working. Then they throw you a few pennies and drive off.

Not true! We do this with Nix and Guix all the time.

Any regulation that tries to allow for Docker or trad distros will, yes, fail. But if it raises the bar so only things with sandboxed build steps will qualify, its perfectly possible.

This is why it's really important to stear this conversation so the upset procurers don't make some shoddy thing influenced by the whinging of existing contractors, and stick with their gut instincts.
