> a lot of them have a call phobia

Yep, that's me. I hate phone calls. I don't see phone calls as a natural human interaction at all and they make me really uncomfortable. I never pick up my phone but am almost always available for text messages.

No issues with video call or face to face chat though, so that's not that I find human interactions toxic. But phone calls are something I hate to do. They somehow feel too intrusive and too intimate.
I included a second example with Turbo Frame, but I am keeping Stimulus since it's what the article is about (and it's in the title). Maybe you can do without it but you have to use some hidden forms or something. I believe Stimulus makes it "clean."

Btw Turbo Stream is kind of cool, but in this particular case, do you think its' really better?
Both MIT and Harvard have admitted to helping Jeffrey Epstein avoid prosecution on federal racketeering charges for the sex-trafficking of minors after they were exposed by whistle-blowers.

Not sure why it would be appropriate then to exclude Stallman from serving on the Board of the FSF while allowing Rafael Reif, for example, to remain president of MIT after sending a personally signed "thank-you note" to one of the most notorious alleged sex-traffickers and convicted child-rapists in US history:

Ask HN: How to Hire for Code Refactoring
Our team is responsible for shipping code on a waterfall like schedule that integrates with tons of other libraries and is very perf, cpu and memory critical. There have been many folks that have worked on this for the last decade or so. What types of engineers would be interested in working in such an area? How would one motivate them? How would you go about hiring high quality talent? What level of experience should one look for? How to avoid fatal career limiting pitfalls?
By that definition science is entirely unreal because we can't reproduce an apple pie from scratch without first creating the universe. We explore geology including theories about the formation of the earth without making new planets.

What is supposed to be reproducible is the act of collecting and processing data to ensure that your conclusion isn't based on error, falsehood, or happenstance. What he is promoting is a basic misunderstanding of both science and logic.

People with preconceived anti science attitudes do this all the time. They face you down at high noon in their fancy duds, six guns ready at their hips sure of themselves and ready to kill and draw pearl handled.... water pistols.

They went looking for the correct answer to satisfy their religion not a commitment to truth and found cheaply manufactured baubles they are sure are deadly weapons because the very skills that would enable them to see it clearly would prevent them from looking for such easy answers in the first place.
I think that they would take exemplary action in this case.

The Saudi's don't have as much leverage as they think they do. Pretty soon they are going to have none, if the French allowed this to go unpunished (and the punishment would have to be striking and humiliating) then it would be open season.

Are you asking for an ethical opinion, or legal one? I am no lawyer, I have no idea if you could be on the hook for reckless endangerment. If you know that your choice is risky, and you fail to act, then there are circumstances when you could be criminally liable. But usually these are situations where the law prescribes a duty to act.

Are you comfortable endangering those around you because protecting them is an inconvenient imposition on your freedom? That's an entirely different issue.
Fibers RFC accepted for PHP 8.1
WIV received serum samples, not tissue. Nobody knows what the miners died of, because several different viruses have been discovered in the same cave, and the miners' samples tested negative for SARS-related coronaviruses. If they had RaTG13 or SARS-CoV-2, it didn't show up in antibody or PCR tests.[1]

However, the miners' story shows you why virologists consider natural zoonosis overwhelmingly likely. Miners, people who raise livestock, butchers, and millions of other people throughout China are in close contact with possibly infected animals every day. Spillover events are probably not uncommon: it's estimated that most (about 95%, in the countryside) spillover events of SARS-CoV-2-like viruses do not cause sustained outbreaks.[2] A few people get sick, and then the virus dead-ends. The virus' best chance is if someone who's infected travels to a major population center, where the virus has a higher chance of spreading. The virus' chance of survival is estimated to increase to about 30%, in that case.

I fear it is my obligation to point out this excellent screed by Scott Lockin: "Quantum computing as a field is obvious bullshit". A beautiful excerpt from the article:

When I say Quantum Computing is a bullshit field, I don’t mean everything in the field is bullshit, though to first order, this appears to be approximately true. I don’t have a mathematical proof that Quantum Computing isn’t at least theoretically possible. I also do not have a mathematical proof that we can or can’t make the artificial bacteria of K. Eric Drexler’s nanotech fantasies. Yet, I know both fields are bullshit. Both fields involve forming new kinds of matter that we haven’t the slightest idea how to construct. Neither field has a sane ‘first step’ to make their large claims true.

.....

“quantum computing” enthusiasts expect you to overlook the fact that they haven’t a clue as to how to build and manipulate quantum coherent forms of matter necessary to achieve quantum computation. A quantum computer capable of truly factoring the number 21 is missing in action. In fact, the factoring of the number 15 into 3 and 5 is a bit of a parlour trick, as they design the experiment while knowing the answer, thus leaving out the gates required if we didn’t know how to factor 15. The actual number of gates needed to factor a n-bit number is 72 x n^3; so for 15, it’s 4 bits, 4608 gates; not happening any time soon.

Engineers that, aside from being good technically, have a product mindset and are constantly thinking about the users, really stand out and are valued by any product team. This helps the whole company move from "delivering software" to building valuable solutions for users, that have a direct impact on the business. Leaders and clients love this. You can start by learning some basic concepts of UX or design thinking.

The base type in R is a vector. A number such as 3.14 is simply a vector of length 1. So functions are vectorized by default (as long as you don't do any operations that are explicitly not vectorizable).

Once you get your head around everything being a vector, R can be a lot of fun.

I love Julia but I wish I didnt need to explicitly broadcast functions across a vector.

Seriously? The older term for homosexuality in Japan literally translates as "the way of nqbyrfprag oblf" (I ROT13'd the last two words as they're IMHO likely to trigger trauma, offense, or both trauma and offense.) Some "case study" indeed! (Needless to say, the modern, Western-informed outlook now common in Japan could not be more different - but that supports my earlier point.)
Scala is one of the more misunderstood languages, partly due to its higher learning curve compared to most language.

The implicits you mentioned are a good example. It is one feature and consists of two parts:

1. Implicits at use-site: they define that a not explicitly provided value can be filled in implicitly by the compiler

2. Implicits at definition-site: they mark those values that the compiler is allowed to fill in at use-site when a value is not explicitly provided

That's all there is to it and one without the other would be utterly useless, so it really is _one_ feature.

But that one feature can be used for multiple things and I assume that this is what you meant. For example, they can be used for method extension syntax (which is a distinct feature in Kotlin) or derivation (e.g. serialize a structure into json, which in Java is usually done with reflection or annotations) or ad-hoc polymorphism (emulating typeclasses similar to Haskell).

Mind that these use-cases were not foreseen when Scala was created! But because implicits are such a powerful language feature, Scala can now have method extension syntax without any changes in the language (well, besides some minor optional syntactic sugar, but that's it).

Java cannot easily have this syntax and Kotlin only has it because it was added from the beginning.

Implicits are a beautiful example how a well thought and flexible language feature covers multiple features of other programming languages at once.

The underscore character is a different thing, because that isn't really a language feature, it is syntax. But I agree that it is overused in Scala and is quite confusing in the beginning.

are there really people hunting around preying on old, vulnerable Androids? The argument is, there are too few of them for any serious actor to waste time trying to hack one. It's just not worth it. This makes them pretty secure, for the simple reason they are ignored. Obviously old Androids are only scarce because the general population keep buying the latest. They are essentially a buffer zone to protect the Hackers..
Yes something fairly large and well known.
We're aiming to offer release-based metrics that are hard to find elsewhere. Things like the time it took for a given release cycle, frequency, finding and displaying common release bottlenecks, and volume of blockers during testing and over time are a couple examples of the types of data Runway could be uniquely positioned to provide.
Thanks for the short explanation that I can look further into. After rethinking it, it makes sense.

Could it be handwavingly said that a single observer only experiences spacetime in 3D?
Where is this a problem for you? The broad goal to minimize cache misses is the same as concurrency in general - minimize synchronization. This means understanding dependencies and doing work on each core in chunks that are as large as possible for the amount of latency you can tolerate between synchronizing.
AFAIK this is a wrapper of worker_threads API. https://github.com/tuananh/camaro utilises this for multi-threading processing of XML input. Hexo (static site generator) is attempting to utilise this library (https://github.com/hexojs/hexo/issues/4355).

except we already use qubits in the real world, and we already use entangled pairs in banking, so it's not really all that bullshit anymore. Quantum computers with a significant number (e.g thousands, but really, millions) of qubits, however, are still quite a ways away. But clearly not in the realm of bullshit anymore.

Thank you.

I want to provide concrete examples of what an affirming approach is. Here is an approach that is not affirming:

https://mobile.twitter.com/caitlinmoriah/status/137415749883...

If a young boy wants to play with dolls, an affirming approach would let them. If they later decide they'd like to be perceived in the world as a girl and change their pronouns, you support them through that. If they later decide they want to keep playing with dolls, be perceived in the world as a boy and not change their pronouns, you support that as well. If they want to play with trucks and be perceived as a girl, you support them through that as well.

The point is that how you are perceived, how you look at yourself and what you do are all different but correlated. You just support them through their journey of growing up and discovering themselves.

Personally I've been uncomfortable at my endogenous sex characteristics from the moment puberty hit. That is why I've changed them (many years afterwards), and I couldn't be happier about that.

"Binging digital transformation to the toilet bowl."

Typo? Should be "Bringing"?
The short answer is that we're working hard to make Runway as adaptable as possible to the varied needs that we've heard about from our partner teams.

But in general - it is tricky, and I think the perfect balance changes depending on what type of a team we're talking about. We've talked to small teams, larger ones with more complex structures (like multiple product teams all contributing code to a single binary), but also teams who are fairly agnostic about their branching and tooling setup, and those who are more opinionated.

There is certainly a version of Runway that could be much more prescriptive (and limited) for teams who prefer more guidance in setting up a release toolchain. For now, we're trying to hit a sweet spot of enough flexibility to meet the needs of most teams, while encouraging best practice in a few areas that we think will streamline everyone's process.

It's an ongoing conversation and it's really helpful to hear from individual teams on how Runway could help in their specific situation.

That’s actually a nice ANALOGy.
I always had trouble getting notified when a release was blocked from App Store review since it required getting an email and then logging into App Store Connect to find the reason for rejection. Does Runway help surface rejection reasons into other tools?

> Beekeepers don't rob hives of too much honey, as that would kill them.

Large scale beekeepers are very willing to harvest the entire store of honey, and feed the bees sugar water over the winter to keep them alive.

The act of beekeeping, no matter how gentle and well-intended the beekeeper, involves killing bees. They're non-native to north america, and negatively impact our hundreds of native bee species in ways that we're just beginning to study and understand. They're not exploited on the same level as cows or pigs, and don't have the same environmental impact as factory farming, but it's not a benign industry.

>Everyone has a credit score that can go down

Sure, but the issue is that the suing party isn't getting anything out of it. You sue for damages, the defendant has nothing, so their credit score goes down.

That's fine, they get punished+the credit score decrease helps future landlords avoid the same situation with that tenant. But as a suing party, you get literally nothing out of it. The defendant's credit score going down doesn't help you personally one bit, you get no restitution or compensation.

I agree, and I think it's just so baffling and frustrating.

Their use of solar (quartz) movements means that a lot of enthusiasts have no interest in them, but I think they make a lot of the best watches under $500USD. However that Eco-Drive logo is just so basic. A minor tweak to that Eco-Drive logo alone would do wonders for their brand, I think.

I wonder if the suits in charge of Citizen realize how bad/boring that logo is. I think they honestly may be blind to it, just as Western suits might be blind to typographical issues when they look at kanji characters.

If calling on the phone is not part of your social connection with other people (and obviously, here it wasn't) then I think it makes sense.

Consider how most people communicate now a days. A call is only for long conversations. No one is expecting to receive a call without a reason, out of the blue. I could certainly imagine people texting back, confused about what their friend wanted to talk about, and whether they could answer in a quick text instead.

That's not anxiety, it's just practical. No one is expecting you to call just to say "hi", they assume there must be some sort of problem that you want to talk about in depth.
