While astronomers are obviously very much aware that light-years is a measure of distance, "seeing further away" is a stand-in for "seeing further back in time." New telescopes are rated by how much further away they can resolve in terms of light-years because that is a direct translation into how close to the Big Bang they can resolve.

What I'm saying is that it is extremely useful that being able to resolve objects 13.2 billion light-years away means being able to see back 13.2 billion years in time. The units are 1:1 convertible, and astronomers therefore frequently interchange them in casual conversation.
I wonder if this will put selective pressure on weeds to evolve to look like crops.
In fact, the primary band program at my high school seemingly only existed to fulfill this role. I ultimately dropped it because I was sick of doing unpaid work for the football program outside school hours.

I'm pretty sure the extreme emphasis on marching-compatible instruments in high school music programs is entirely due to this, in fact. I wonder how many 17-year-olds play the tuba or trombone or clarinet in Europe, versus the US, for instance? In an ideal world I'd see all non-specialist students at that level learning piano/keyboard, or maybe guitar or ukulele. Something with good general utility, acceptable when played solo even at not-great skill levels, and relatively easy to reach a point where you can lead a sing-along. Nice, physical, evident mapping of notes and theory to the instrument, too, unlike wind and brass instruments.

Your advice (as well-meant as it may be) is exactly as helpful as the extrovert, mentioned by the parent, who gives the advice to "just have more fun". It's not a lack of knowing what to do. It's a profound lack of "activation energy".

By not letting your boss know, you are making it harder on yourself, and then leading to less productivity in the future, as opposed to getting better. Also it isn't that it actually costs the company money. They could very well make up for that lost time by hyper focusing and finishing it quickly later. So it could be the same result for the company but much more stressful for the person with ADHD.
The issue I noted is that most of the discussion surrounds an assumption--one that I happen to hold neither for people nor functions--that "colored" things are inherently bad, and that we have to defend the lack of badness of colored things... if you can't see why having to sit inside of that terminology cluster would make someone who separately has to spend a lot of time in arguments about race relations uneasy, I fear for your empathy :(.

There are a couple of ways to interpret your question, one is purely statistical “is the climate/temperature actually changing?” And the other is “does it matter?”. I’m not really equipped to answer the second one properly.

Re the first question, statistical hypothesis testing requires a null state of the world that you want to test, in this case “is the global temperature changing”. What that requires, more rigorously, is some sort of assumed probability distribution that generates the data we observe. We would probably assume a normal distribution/bell curve with mean equal to the long term average temperature during the last few thousand years, or whatever period is relevant (again, im not a climate scientist), and variance deduced the same way.

To test that null hypothesis: “the temperature over the last decade isn’t meaningfully different from the long term average”, you then take your recent data, say the last and ask “what is the probability we’d see this data, assuming the state of the world we assume given our null hypothesis”. If the observed data is sufficiently unlikely to be generated by that null distribution, you say there is a statistically significant difference.

Now, That’s not the only way to analyze the data (putting it into two buckets and asking if they differ). But I don’t want to get too into the weeds without better understanding what your wondering about/where the disconnect is.

Edit: looking back on this answer, there are some glaring issues that need to be addressed, because they’re both bad analysis and you hinted at it in your question.

Obviously the issue here is that cyclical data clumps together so to speak. Sot he temporal binning i outlined here is a big issue, because you are going to get data with lower variance that you would expect.

This could conceivably be adjusted for by raising your significance threshold, though off the top of my head I’m not 100% sure how I would approach it personally.

If stable traversable wormholes are at all possible, I'd expect one such civilization to be able to use networks of those to remain connected. Even if matter couldn't traverse them, information could.

But, then, if they resemble us in this sense, isolation will probably make them diverge.

Stuff like this is why "general computing" devices should (and will hopefully) never die.

> Anyways, if async functions are so good, why not have all functions async?

They aren't. They're only good when the primary thing that the function is doing is waiting.

> When my code is called by a 3rd party library, I can not change my code to async. That's the most unpleasant property of today's async / await. What yesterday was quick computation tomorrow can become a network call.

You can still do that. Network calls don't have to be async. Blocking network calls still exist, just as they did before async was created.

> Hopefully, compilers of the future will be able to automatically parallelize computations.

Ah, yes, the famous sufficiently smart computer that can determine if two operations happening on the other side of the network depend on each other or not. Personally, I'm not holding my breath.

This already exists. Unless I am missing something, we've already been seeing these on major platforms like Facebook and Instagram (if not others) for at least a year now. I've noticed it mostly on posts about the 2020 election and COVID-19 facts/news.

My interpretation was that discussions directly related to each job would obviously be allowed. I'm sure people still need to discuss employment law, immigration law, IP law, etc. for certain roles. I gathered that this announcement is about casual at-work discussions e.g. in the company Slack.
Well, I apologize for taking it the wrong way. I hope that others who agreed with you read it the way it was intended and not the way that I did. I still think the answer to the question is a bit obvious; plenty of Go devs used Java before Go. That said, I would guess that most people who have migrated away from Java did so before it became more modernized.

Whether you think that I'm spreading disinformation, or whether it is someone else is easily determined by looking to the external facts.

The fact is that the earth is (nearly) round, contrails are not chemical sprays, Capricorn One was a C-grade movie while Apollo-11 went to the moon, and that anti-vax movement was started by a fraud attempting to discredit existing formulas to promote a formula in which the paper's author had a vested interest (and which paper was retracted, along with his MD and license) and that vaccines do work.

That is the point. A society cannot remain cohesive if there are no shared truths.

You may not want to take it seriously, but I'd suggest you consider the following quotes, and why and how disinformation can be weaponized.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” ― Isaac Asimov

Since after all, Cellebrite claims their device doesn't alter evidence on the way through. If that claim is true, Moxie's artistically-beautiful files obviously can't affect it.

The inflated stock price is easy to explain: intangibles are part of the balance sheet.

In my guesstimation, Tesla will be making electric cars with a range to dollar ratio that can’t possibly be matched by incumbents for the foreseeable future.

VW and the rest are more capable of producing a refined car, but (again, my opinion) Tesla’s EV advantage is similar to the big three’s various inertial advantages that they enjoyed in the mid-20th century.

Perhaps more US-specific: buying a Tesla over something like a VW ID.4 gives you the supercharger network. It will be years if not decades before the general open standard charging network can compete with that benefit of ownership.

My understanding is that the earliest stars would have begun to form only a few hundred thousand years after the event and begun to explode not terribly long after that on account of their mass and rapid reaction rate, seeding the early universe with some amount of nucleosynthesis product almost from the outset.

Of course, I think it was rather a while longer before it cooled down enough for things other than raging thermonuclear fireballs to find hospitable.

This is kind of thread drift, but I really agree with this. I wish products would stop trying to get me to use some particular feature. First, they cram it onto every screen in the application. Then, they make it easy to accidentally invoke when you didn't want to. Then, they spam you with notifications saying "PLEASE DON'T YOU WANT THIS FEATURE?" Then, they silently enable it and make it opt-out. Product Managers, please just stop this madness. I don't want your feature. I don't care that your bonus is tied to its use. I already bought your product, so you already have my money. But if you keep trying to cram your feature down my throat, I'm not going to buy your company's next product. Give it a rest!

This reminds me of the theory that the Rapa Nui on Easter Island also suffered from self-inflicted "ecocide", cutting down all their trees to build their legendary Moai statues and ending up with no birds, unstable soil, erosion… all that comes with it.

Yes that's also very important - the inverted EQ applied by the phono preamp pushes the noise floor way down in the treble, while raising it in the bass. In my opinion, this is probably why vinyl can never compete with digital when it comes to clean-sounding bass, but can generally have equally detailed treble when cared for well and played on a good turntable
Debundling comes when bundling fundamentally limits the feature, or the users desire to separate it from their chat identity.

In case of chat apps, payments are IMHO one of the most natural chat app features and won't get debundled - the main point is to be able to send money as a chat message.

There are unbundled payment solutions using phone numbers as user handles like Revolut (that's what I used up until now), but there's still friction in using it to pay back to my girlfriend or send lunch money to the colleague who paid.
It’s still 30% annual growth.
I found out when digitizing vinyl that LP's before 1977, when digital mixing and mastering was not the norm that there is more data in the frequencies between 20 and 50kHz. I do my recording standard at 192kHz and analogue LP's often reach 48kHz of data while digital mastered ones do only 22kHz. After that date often the frequency is cutoff at 20-22kHz, probably to save memory room. Only after 2000-2010 there is enough memory to record at insane sample rates and bits per sample. Most awful are cds having only 16 bits and 41kHz sample rate, by modern standards really poor.
So one thing to keep in mind, showing 20 year averages every 10 years and comparing them to century long averages for the same time period is a really good idea, it shows that there is a trend and it can show shorter temporal anomalies.

One thing I found very interesting is the information on precipitation. I've heard it said "a warmer world is a wetter world" and that would appear to be supported by this data.

This is great. I think the biggest misunderstanding with computers is how abstraction works, and why we use it. Hedy seems to be a pretty good example of why people don't need to see the big picture all at once. One of the biggest thing that stopped me from really digging in and writing code was the fear that I didn't fully understand what was going on, so abstracting away the complicated backend seems like a great way to foster a sense of confidence in a young programmer. My only concern is how fast this can be learned: while it seems like a great track to follow for a few years, one of the things that actually made me get into programming was sitting down and reading some documentation, point blank. It takes a few days, but the deep dive is one of my favorite ways to learn a language.
