These are the 'bottom up' of computer engineering, which are implementation details (my course included semiconductor physics as well). Computer science tends to look at theoretical constructs like Turing machines instead of these. The remaining topics which are indeed computer science.
You're right -- thanks for the feedback.
This is amazing, who would’ve thought that clicking on a ‘delivery now’ button might topple a container for people in 1000 years to find.
at the time I had 15 product managers, five of which had come to me as entry level developers out of Flat Iron and some course in Boston I can’t remember the name of. I had a Ruby dev bootcamp grad switch to my finance team as controller (he was also a CPA). He manages timber leases now.
I would say it was Kate Beckinsale wearing black vinyl ... and fangs.

Rust at Google is in a bit of an awkward state. There's a bunch of teams/projects that have used it, but we haven't yet staffed a team to manage an internal Rust toolchain/ecosystem.

The most recent one was Kotlin, in large part because our Android ecosystem was increasingly having to play catch up, so we'll see if/when a Rust team gets staffed.
The unrecoverable private key is just one implementation of blockchain technology, there are various way to implement a blockchain solution to various use cases.

BTW current centralized solutions to estate planning issues are not exactly that great anyway. it is not unusual for family not to know a will, insurance, pensions, and bank accounts even exist for deceased. Just look at the current unclaimed assets for deceased I think its around $2T.
> In the meantime, public health measures like masking and distancing will work against both viruses.

This argument does not make sense because of the timing of the disappearance of the flu.

For example, NYS was having a really bad flu season before the Covid panic hit[1]. I am posting a link to my screenshot first because NYS flu tracker[1] is one of the stupidest web pages out there. Click on the "compare with previous seasons" heading on the page to get the current table.

The noteworthy part is the drop in flu cases between the 6th and 7th weeks during what seems like an exceptionally bad flu season.

Note also "Regulation for Prevention of Influenza Transmission by Healthcare and Residential Facility and Agency Personnel"[3]:

> As of December 5, 2019, influenza is prevalent in NYS.

> At this time, Section 2.59 of the New York State Sanitary Code (10 NYCRR § 2.59) requires all health care and residential facilities and agencies regulated pursuant to Article 28, 36, or 40 of the Public Health Law to ensure that all personnel, as defined in the regulation, not vaccinated against influenza for the current influenza season wear a surgical or procedure mask while in areas where patients or residents are typically present.

> This page will be updated when the status changes.

which apparently has not been updated since December 5, 2019.

Not just more likely, it will work. Pluto notebooks are deterministic, and do not have the hidden global state that plagues Jupyter.
It's a cash grab, make no mistake about it. They can justify it all they want, but they're fooling you.

Tobacco companies already pay states a bunch of money from their 1998 settlement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agre...

It's over $200 billion and growing. They're more than compensated.

Cigarettes and tobacco products are already heavily taxed for the user. Both the federal government and the state government makes a lot of money off people's addiction, and it's an addiction they can't break (obviously).

Time to leave smokers alone. Many if not most of them got hooked as kids and as a society we just keep punishing them for their "moral failure."
Same. An entire year plus without a single illness. I haven’t seen anything like it in my 48 years. I’m going to continue to wear a mask when out in public. Now I just need the people I associate with in private to do the same.
Firstly no one said it's magical: It's a direct result of the covid-19 measures, and was predicted to happen.

Secondly it hasn't disappeared, if you read the article it says there were 600 flu deaths (in the US) last year, where previously there were 20,000+.

Finally, all it takes is a quick test to confirm whether it's influenza or coronavirus.
That’s not really relevant given the fact the the colonies were subjects of Britain not just their trading partner. It is a little different.
My standard workday lunch used to be a chicken salad sandwich with all the toppings. When I replaced that with a mushroom melt I realized I didn't actually care that much about the chicken itself.

A lot of the meat I was consuming was just a matter of treating meat as the default option, not because it was actually adding significant value. That style of eating comprised at least 75%-90% of my meat consumption, and cutting that out turned out to be extremely easy.

The last 10%-25% has been much harder though, especially when my wife and most of my friends like eating meat so much.
What’s this?
Some friends of mine have worked at BCG and similar companies, with very similar opinions of the work. What surprises me is how these consulting firms keep having an image among college seniors that they are a desirable job.
> If you want the "canary in the coal mine", watch what the game developers use for the game engines (they mostly use C++ right now). When Rust starts becoming common among game developers, it's got enough momentum for a job ("career" is probably a bit much).

I don't see why the entertainment industry would be any more important to pay attention to than any other tech-adjacent industry, such as finance, health care, transportation, etc. If anything, the short-term focus on the next title means that the games industry tends to be relatively late adopters of experimental core tech: witness how more quickly tech companies adopted C++11 as compared to game studios, for example. (This is not to criticize entertainment's conservatism with technology choices: it's a tough business and they are understandably risk-averse.)
Exactly this. The only Bootcamp grass I know that were successful in their post grad jobs were already developers but with a different skill set. The entire concept of turning non technical people into developers is a farce.
Well I must say that sounds like some peculiar logic to me! But hey, I spent years performing mental gymnastics to justify the suffering I contributed to by eating meat and dairy, so I can see where you are coming from ;)

I used to love steak, and fish, and various other non-vegan things. But I became increasingly uncomfortable with the thought of where those things came from, and eventually I had to give them up. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. Having vegan substitutes just made it easier. I don't see the harm in that, neither do I see the hypocracy. I want the taste, but I don't want the suffering.
The scriptability of reaper is insane BTW. No other DAW even comes close. It is unfortunately full of pitfalls and hacks but if you persist you can pretty much script ANYTHING that you can do manually within reaper.
Looks like there's an easy button in the insiders channel now... will have to wait a while for GA though.
If everybody has had the disease, what's the purpose of having full immunity?

However, I think this is right in one sense: an implicit or explicit strategy of keeping R0 as close as possible to 1 would be the strategy with the highest risk of significant mutations, as we have seen.

UK government ministers literally stated this to be their strategy.
Your interview process is not far from the ones I've been involved in and I think you make a number of compelling points. The onus remains on the hiring folks to actually put in the work required to follow a sane process. I don't understand why you're blaming these platforms for teams having bad interviewing practices.

There's nothing wrong with hackerrank-esque platforms themselves. They're actually pretty sweet if you want to work through a couple narrowly scoped problems and get instant feedback while picking up a new language. There are even some diamonds in the rough that are actually decent multi-stage problems you can work through with a candidate during an interview. They make data structures and general code literacy more accessible to aspiring programmers, which is not a Bad Thing.

If hiring teams are attempting (and failing miserably) to use these platforms as a shortcut, that's on them. Their system may be busted, but coding sandboxes aren't forcing teams to not put effort into their hiring processes; that's entirely up to the folks making decisions.
There's a super basic dashboard: https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard Tekton is really more of a lower level engine for CI though and doesn't focus on building UI, etc. You might check out jenkinsx which uses tekton but builds a whole new jenkins experience on it: https://jenkins-x.io/
Interesting that this was getting downvoted. Obviously relates to what the poster above was saying about it being "politically incorrect."

We may disagree on what the science implies, but downvoting someone for sharing research means that people are refusing to listen to anything that disagrees with their preconceived notions.

(I guess perhaps the implicit assumption is that anyone pushing articles that show that kids are at less risk, or that kids don't spread Covid as well, must also be pushing for all kids to be running free and socializing?)

Edit: And now this comment is getting downvoted. Folks who disagree, why not speak up about what's wrong with the study, instead of just downvoting?
Not sure about OP but the hardest part about getting linux on a macbook is getting wifi to work because there are no FOSS drivers.
Most flu patients don’t get tested for flu.

Indeed, most flu patients don’t even see a doctor.

So, at the outset, the flu stats are coming from a very specific category of patients: in-patients and people with great insurance who have the time and money to get tested for the flu (even though it won’t make a bit of difference what the test says as it’ll be over in a couple weeks anyway.)

This second-category may be skewing things.

The personality-type that has a ‘need’ to know whether they have the flu was instead focused on Covid. They’d have the sniffles, go through a drive-through Covid testing site, get their negative result and breathe a sigh of relief. They would NOT however make an appointment with their doctor as they perhaps would have in years past as (a) they wanted to avoid sources of Covid, and (b) the doctors were discouraging appointments but for emergencies (and flu-like symptoms plus a negative Covid test, would not, in the patient’s mind, amount to an emergency.)

I doubt this explains all of the decrease in flu-positive tests. But, perhaps some of it.
Linux is arguably one of the most important software projects on the planet right now.

It is vital in so many aspects of society now,
Android, AWS/AZure, IOT, routers, etc etc.

It should be taken as a serious given that bad actors are working hard, with huge budgets to nefariously gain some advantage in the development of Linux.

They will have far better engineers, much larger budges, and have been working on it for many years.

I would imagine ever intelligence service on the planet would love to have obscure exploits embedded in the kernel.

I can easily imagine a scenario where a single exploit was introduced over many months one tiny bit at a time. Each patch a fully working fix for unrelated problem. Fully Legit. But when they are all combined something wonderful happens. (for the nefarious player).

This stunt was a few students who were not well funded nor were they uber kernel coders. Yet they had some success (depending on what you call success).

I imagine the NSA has a team on this, with some exceedingly well skilled kernel coders working on embedding things, and I am sure they have a second team to find possibly implants by foreign services and so on.

Had this been security researchers who managed to get changes into the WindowsNT kernel I think the reaction by the core Linux devs would have been different.
(and yes I am 100% there are people spending just as much time doing this for Windows as for Linux, well maybe not).

This highlighted a vulnerability, which is frankly quite real and needs to be taken seriously and contemplated over time.

The guys were jerks, yes.
What they highlighted is real
and a lot more serious than what this little stunt did.
A note for anyone coming across this: soy milk is nutritionally comparable to cow's milk, but other milk alternative are not. Children who receive much of their nutrition from milk should not transition directly to almond or oat milk without considering other parts of their diet as well.

To add on to this, DNS is meant to be a simple protocol. The problems we encounter with it today are usually due to the thousands of little patches added on through the decades to tack functionality onto what is essentially supposed to be a key-value store.
Wait, people can sell the contracts for their future salary? I had no idea how wild that industry had gotten.

Or do you mean Lambda was selling them to banks?
“ We're trying to do something that hasn't been done before – prove that an accessible, incentive-aligned education model can work sustainably for all students willing to put in the work. ”

“Willing to put in the work” shows me that Austen is already rationalizing his failure in terms of his indentured servants —- I mean students — not working hard enough.
The key part is "Rust offloads most of the complexity onto the compiler".

Yes you can make a meaningful effort in C++, but one of the great benefits of Rust is that effort is handled by the compiler instead.
Just because there's an entire container ship worth of containers floating in the ocean doesn't mean you have to retrieve all of them...
That only states that no commits were made. The text I quoted states that malicious patches were submitted, but were rejected (ie not committed).
Sounds kind of like the person who goes to a therapist because their spouse told them "you need therapy..." Don't expect anything meaningful to come out of the exercise.
We had some success with CoreDNS (over BIND et al): https://coredns.io/manual/toc/

Switched later to OctoDNS, mostly because we didn't want to run DNS infrastructure or deal with racing updates to records: https://github.com/octodns/octodns
There are definitely companies at smaller scale that work on these problems. I would say that the only time it really feels solved to me is if the scale is very large.

Flu is largely suppressed in summer anyway, with outbreaks moving from the northern to southern hemisphere, in time for winter, and back again.

So, it feels unsurprising that flu is relatively easy to suppress, since its spread is already fragile in normal times.

The combination of summer suppression and (continuing) hygiene measures has resulted in historic low levels of flu globally, which would need time to grow exponentially to even reach baseline levels.
Is that data from countries where schools are closed? If so, yeah, of course they won't be the main spreaders, they are quarantined. Opening up schools because the closing of the schools is working in control the spread is just the worst.
I know someone I used to work with who was a VB .Net MVP for a number of years, and even a decade ago, his biggest complaint was lack of support/examples inside and from MS.
Are there any prominent category theorists who are not “characters” and present it in a humble / conventional style of mathematical exposition? A lot of the style of presentation of CT is off-putting.
Whoa calm down. No need to downvote because you don't like what I said.

First and second: > 20,000+ down to 600 for no reason is magical. What would you call that? A mystery? Fine. The flu did not mysteriously disappear.

Your last point: First off, those tests don't work. Everyone knows it. The inventor of the PCR test knows it. Elon Musk knows it about the antigen tests. They aren't accurate. Also, hospitals in the US are getting paid for each covid case. hmmmm.

lol and you are so into this cult you can't admit that flu deaths are being counted as covid deaths. Wow.
I think fork was a nice solution back when threads weren't common: you just fork, run as many syscalls as you want to modify the running environment, and then do exec.

Unfortunately, with threads, you're now stuck with locks that are potentially held by threads that no longer exist. So you can't call any function that may potentially acquire a lock, like printf, or your program may randomly hang. This feels... inelegant.

Not if you wear a mask and wash your hands immediately afterwards. I haven’t been in an in person meeting since COVID started, but I’m wearing a mask to the next one I attend.

Don’t Be Better—Be “The Only”
Covid appears to spread much more readily through the air, why the influenza virus spreads much more significantly through fomites (touch and surfaces).

All that sanitizing and hand-washing, as well as not going into the office and school, cut that way down.

Meanwhile, Covid continued to spread fine in public transportation, stores, restaurants, etc.
>This sounds like a technology problem for which a public blockchain is but one possible solution.

I don't disagree, and "blockchain" as used sort of is misleading because at this point their are many solutions within the blockchain technologies and it is still rapidly evolving.

>If a court says your ex owns half of the shares in $WALLET, but the blockchain doesn’t, and $COMPANY which issued the shares is also subject to the whims of the court, then what are we to do about this?

You could hold a non-complying party in jail/contempt of court for one, this happens with real world assets that do not get turned over now.

But again there are implementation of blockchain solutions, where say the Company that issued shares did so on a smart contract and with a Court order they could burn half the tokens/stock in the wallet mint that same number and transfer them to the wife per the Court order.

I don't personally write Rust for a living, but it's a chicken and egg problem.

The industry wants to start using it but can't find dev with commercial x years experience to have the confidence to invest in it and the developers can't get professional experience because they can't find a job in rustland yet.

This doesn't happen in PHP due to the age and spread of the language (for better or worse).

So I think it's a timing issue. If the language is solid and solves a problem uniquely and is well received where it is used (and not just some freak example in a company somewhere with a blog post "we use this and it's the best!") - it will pierce through after X years.
A lot of my ideas for from conversations with other developers and founders.

Listening to podcasts, reading, and thinking also bring me a lot of ideas. The most important thing in my mind is to have a backlog where you can keep ideas. It's not often that free time and inspiration come at the same time for me.
>the basic answer is because tobacco causes a huge burden of problems, and there are only very small upsides to smoking for an individual

Doubtful. The real answer is that public opinion on smoking has turned so strongly against it that these bans won't create enough vocal opposition. The anti-vice authoritarians only stop here because they would be eviscerated if they tried to ban something like alcohol. But we should be careful about emboldening the moral busybodies with national victories.
Genuinely curious, is it harder than getting Linux working with the proprietary Apple variant of ARM? Or are you talking pre-M1?
I am not sure if you by more contributions from the tech world means donate more money, or donate more patches / fixes etc.

Big tech adds a constant stream of features / extensions to the kernel for some fairly obscure factors that are important if you are a big enterprise or cloud company but matters very little to regular people and regular companies.

If you mean bigger monetary investment I agree.
With the exception that with large donations come strings attached.
> anymore than I'd drink non-alcoholic beer.

Non-alcoholic beer seems more popular in Germany (yes, Germany, where beer is very serious business) than in the US.

I like it a lot, because it's a refreshing drink with good taste and no alcohol, well suitable if you want to drive or just don't feel like drinking alcohol right now.

I wish it was more common in the US (where I live now).
> since doctors, hospitals and medical professions were PAID a bounty on COVID.

You what?

Do you actually believe this? Seriously?
I was going to write this, almost exactly. Right down to the comment about "data wrangling". It's uncanny.

But since you did, I won't. Have an upvote instead.
Wow. I can't unsee that.
why would PG care? His job was to get a bunch of hype for Lambda so their initial investment could be marked up to whatever the last raise put the company at. Austin is probably one of PG's favorite tech guys because he basically took a bootcamp, wrapped it in 1 legal nuance and with a fuck ton of twitter hype made PG/YC probably a 10x return.
Huh, it's funny, I never thought about it, but if you are selling something, the best number of unsold inventory you want to have is 1, not 0. Cause if it's zero, you have no idea how many sales you lost, if it's one, you pretty much stocked perfectly.
Conditional PUTs aren't possible with versioned objects, but if you desire immutability, then they do help.

To implement serialisation, (as opposed to using Conditional PUTs) one could implement a ledger on top of versioned buckets with LegalHolds: Basically, the object versions part of the main chain are LegalHolded whilst other versions are reconcilled (rebased) onto main and later deleted. Tricky to implement, for sure, compared to say, maintaining a journal in DynamoDB to track PUTs to maintain serial integrity.
His point is that container losses happen in bursts, so you'd spend a lot of time idle while waiting for a container loss. If you can't pick up enough of those containers, you'd be losing money to keep your ship ready-to-go.
