What a waste of talent... these kids know how to program, but instead of working on useful projects they’re wasting everyone’s time. It’s really troubling that any professor would have proposed or OK’d this.
I doubt it. I would bet most people will not care.
You certainly can if it's property taxes. Someone's going to own the land either way, so offering property tax incentives is giving up tax revenue.
Same here. I scored well during my early diploma and slacked off. Then I transferred to an elite college and was swamped. That pain later taught me how to be a lot more efficient when learning, though. I doubt I'd be the same person if I had scored through my final years in college.
You wrote: <<This is why, when you are incorporating an off-shore company, you need some kind of "representative" in the country itself.>> Absolutely not. All kinds of shell corporations are setup with nothing more than a letterbox. Look at the Carribean (incl. Bermuda), Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Langkawi, Singapore, Hongkong (the list goes on and on!). Literally, they have huge numbers of off-shore corporations registered with no one on-shore.

In places with stronger regulation and rule of law, these letterbox shell corporations are not allowed or strictly regulated.
Pretty much my experience as well. I suffered quite a lot from "Be ready to ship crappy products" when the projects were short (it happened quite a lot when I was doing AWS consulting).

I will also add that companies using consultants can be divided in two distinct groups:

1) The companies who know where they are doing and they are using consultants as extra hands/expertise.
2) The companies who expects consultants to (magically) fix their deep problems just because "we pay".

I have worked for both and 1) is definitely more enjoyable (as you can imagne!).
Hmm. Sure, M1 isn't suited for heavy workstation loads. They didn't target that sector yet. What's your point?

This is not the last processor they will do. Have you been watching the massive year over year performance gains Apple has been making for several years? There will be an M2 and an M3, and ....

Given the performance AND energy beating they are putting on the market sector that they targeted with M1, why is there any reason to believe they won't kill the high-end workstation sector when they target that?

> The headless editor framework for web artisans.

This sounds like a parody. What does "headless" mean in this context? It clearly has an interface, so it's not like a headless browser. Edit: I got the styling link to load now. They just mean no CSS.

And what distinguishes a "web artisan" from a person who types? Edit: oh I think the web artisan is just the web developer who uses this on their page, not the person who uses the editor.

For a headline it doesn't seem to communicate well.

AutoRL: AutoML for RL
Because of the cost of continuing to maintain software for that small fraction of the user base. Not only the core OS but the toolchain, and all their first party apps. And the difficulty of incentivizing and enabling third party developers to continue to support x86.
We've been relentlessly attacking them for well over half a century, starting by killing a large portion of the population. I don't think we get to pretend the answer to "what if we stop attacking them" is obvious.
Why? Apple just demonstrated that they could do something that had previously been considered unrealistic. They've also been demonstrating massive annual performance gains for many years. For people who have been watching closely, they should have some credibility by now.

Gmail Compose with Transformers (2019)
Most people would prefer not to walk 25 extra minutes (1km two ways of standard 5kph ped speed) every day just to buy food, even in good weather. When it's raining, snowing, etc., or when they are old, have children with them, are not so fit, even more so. Many people have things to do with these 25 minutes, too.

When I used to buy groceries daily on foot, it took me about 5 extra steps, one way, to get to the store from the sidewalk that I was already traversing from the bus stop that was 150m from my apartment... and then I carried them 100m to said apartment. That is the density that most people can accept when they think about "walkable"... These days I pick up a week's worth of groceries (impossible to carry, and I say is as a backpacker) on my way from the gym, or occasionally in a separate trip that takes the same 25 minutes round-trip for travel, except I do it once a week, or could do it even more rarely.
And if you drive, it doesn't really matter if the store is 2-3km away on the street (which it is), or if it was 10-25km away on a highway.
Capital gains default to being taxed at the same rate as income in this country (as they should be). There are exceptions for certain long term capital gains, and for qualified dividends.

The rationale for this is that corporate profits are already taxed. The effective tax rate is about 25% for US corporations. For income from corporate profits to be taxed at the same rate as normal income, it should be taxed at a lesser rate once it's been distributed via dividends or buybacks (which is how the system is set up).

Changing the system would have several negative effects. It would encourage companies to take on leverage. Interest expenses are deductible for the purposes of corporate taxes. While interest earnings are and have always been taxed as ordinary income. So companies would likely shift their balance sheets to compensate. It would also make short term speculative trading more attractive for US citizens (and lord knows we have enough of that). And lead to greater foreign ownership of US equities, which is not necessarily desirable.

There are certainly fairly indefensible aspects of the US tax code. This just isn't one of them.

There's also an interesting argument that it's less distortionary to tax wage income than investment income. Because wages (and especially the variation thereof) are substantially driven by unearned human capital endowments.

The point is that Saddam was a hero when he was killing Iranians, but a villain when he invaded Kuwait. Saddam didn't actually change, his usefulness to us did. And a large part of the reason he was able to rule Iraq was because he was supported by the West.

Assuming the people you're arguing with are simple-minded flat-earthers who can't think that anything against America is bad because they think America is bad and two things can't be bad because they like to argue is causing you to hear the worst possible version of people's positions.

The page you're citing contradicts that statement -- they will not be 100% off x86, but instead will offer 100% of their products with the option of buying an Apple ARM chip:

> This transition will also establish a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimize their apps for the entire ecosystem.

> Apple plans to ship the first Mac with Apple silicon by the end of the year and complete the transition in about two years. Apple will continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come, and has exciting new Intel-based Macs in development.

I would expect Intel-based Mac Pros to continue for as long as there's a market for them. Probably at least 2-4 years after the "transition" finishes. (The last spec bump in 1-2 years, and sales end 3-4 years from now...)

It's also worth pointing out that Apple supports its products roughly 7 years from when they're sold, which means Apple will likely continue supporting Intel-based MacOS for at least another decade, possibly as much as 13-15 years. That said, I wouldn't buy an Intel Mac after 2024 and expect the same experience even if Apple supports it until 2031 or later: In just a few years, I'd expect Apple would have created even more MacOS features uniquely suited to the ARM chips they're now making.
The reason for reading code is hard as compared to writing code is that while writing code you already know "what" and you are figuring out "how" whereas while reading code you need to figure out both what and how at the same time.
Specifically you wind up needing grease/oil more moving parts. The failure rates of reaction wheels on orbital craft speak well to the relative difficulty of keeping moving parts moving in space-environments without ongoing maintenance.
$2B crypto scam: Turkish exchange Thodex goes silent, sparks user outcry
Sorry if it's a bit of an enterprisy-response, but please reach out! We are supporting some non-cloud commercial customers on a case-by-case basis. The reason for this is that we find the support and maintenance burden to be much higher with a non-cloud delivery model, which isn't always a great experience for either party. We also have a managed product (where the data plane resides in your environment) that may work, depending on your infra and security requirements.

Re: custom code -- our codebase is fully source-available and open to contributions, but the source+sink code going through some refactoring to make it more beginner-friendly.

What if it incentivizes proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies in the hopes of overtaking Bitcoin?
We don't need more centralization. That just puts all the spoils in terms of getting corrupt individuals in positions of influence in one basket. Keeping agencies and jurisdictions divided keeps people specialized, limits the spread of taint, and ensures any that does take root is limited in scope; which is a good thing. Last thing we need is a monolithic law enforcement agency.
It's plausible that it's what some people were personally thinking (or a better word might be "LARPing"). But for the reasons you point out, it's not realistic to suggest that the loftiness of the goal implies the danger was historically-serious, or requiring some kind of revolutionary increase of law enforcement (beyond handling protests at the capital more wisely next time).

I moved from the US to Germany and lived there for almost 7 years. Even as someone with German ancestry (from 5 generations ago), a German last name, and enough language skills to get by, you never really fit in. Germans are insular in a way that, I suppose, all people are, but a special kind of matter-of-fact curtness that is off-putting. Younger Germans are embarrassed by it and make a show of welcoming outsiders (e.g. the Syrian refugee situation), but deep down, the Germans don't want Germany being overrun by immigrants. I heard as much even from eastern Europeans who lived their whole lives in Germany.

I had to eventually move away, for various reasons, but being in a foreign land, alone, is alienating by default. You never really know the rules or customs, you have no shared cultural background, like TV shows or games, and the nuance of a foreign language is so deep.
There's no way to have accurate, completely relevant numbers - not even Apple can track that. But, with my anecdotal experience graduating from HS in the US having just caught the iPhone craze, here are some numbers that support that.

It's well known that Apple has about a 50% marketshare overall in the US. But what about among the youth? If my hypothesis is correct, then the green bubble bullying should mean that more teenagers own iPhones than the general population.

And indeed they do! Youth ownershop of iPhones in the US is a whopping 86%[0] - with 89% reporting that they are planning on buying a iPhone as their next phone.

This also gives iMessage the marketshare in this specific niche to be the dominant messaging app.

I'm not talking about this specific instance. I'm saying that companies can fail to do something due to myriad reasons. You shouldn't tie a third party's freedom (the ship's "legal guardian") to a company behaving correctly. If the company doesn't deal with the jeopardy a person is in then governments should try to resolve it in a reasonable timeframe or at least create reasonable accommodations until the situation is resolved.

Here's my thoughts. Not so much for you as for myself because it's an interesting question.

I once did a very hacky version of something like with mysql, where I was batch updating ranking data for a leaderboard, using internal variables based on a Stack Overflow answer, when I was a junior. Nobody should do that lol.

In fact, I'd avoid mysql for this if at all possible.

It seems like this fairly easy to do in postgres, and a pain in the neck in mysql.

In postgres I'd use a materialized view with a unique index and refresh it CONCURRENTLY where it will compare the view and the underlying data and only change things as needed. It just doesn't do this with a stream, you have to request updates. You can presumably refresh it internally using TRIGGERS.

I mean you can do your own stream with postgres as well (using NOTIFY and LISTEN to subscribe to notifications created with AFTER CUD TRIGGERs) or even in MYSQL in a hacky way and refresh it on the back end or in the browser, but it's likely more efficent to let the db handle batch updating itself rather than handrolling your own updates. Probably easier to update to incremental views if and when those are added.

I guess the question is, what to do when either of the above isn't fast enough? My thought would be to switch between two identical materialized views with one always updating (not using concurrently). Alternatively use an external cache to do something of the same thing. Then multiple systems can query data, with refreshes being triggered by one of the selects, which switches the view to read from after updating, or which updates the cache atomically.
Previously, PRs would automatically cause actions to be run, for all users. So users could notice and fix CI failures themselves, and maintainers could see that CI was passing they first looked at the PR. The maintainer needs to touch the PR a minimum of once: look at the code, see CI passes, merge. Now, the maintainer has to look at the code and approve, at which point they have to wait for CI to pass, then come back later and merge; or, if CI fails, come back and re-approve each time the contributor tries to fix it, so a minimum of two times, and quite possibly more if there are CI failures (which, I expect, is common for first-time contributions).
Maybe but it will be like Stephen Hawking hosting a party for time travelers.
Nothing in our previous understanding suggests that they increase release of aerosols or aerosolization. Multiple previous studies have shown that they don't (see Asadi, S., Cappa, C.D., Barreda, S. et al. Efficacy of masks and face coverings in controlling outward aerosol particle emission from expiratory activities. Sci Rep 10, 15665 (2020), for one example; there's also older studies but you can look them up yourself).

The other arguments are of the "seatbelts cause more accidents" variety, which honestly aren't worth refuting. But I'll just note that social distancing has much weaker evidence of affecting virus transmission than even masks (there is no real justification for the 6 feet number and mostly unlikely it makes much of a difference). Hell, social distancing is even much more difficult to comply with than wearing masks so your argument makes no sense at all.
MIME type feels as if it is as intrinsic a property as something like file size. It is a property of the data itself, not a property that a person chooses for the file like, say, the file name.

Could you give an example where one would want to choose the MIME type of some data, from a selection of options?
