They are some unspoken rules in the industry that no one explains to you when you start a job. Knowing them could kickstart your career and put you on the path to success. Top performers on every team usually do these things, but they don’t realize their importance in their success.

Not only that they happen in the US, they frequently happen to US military, the very kinds of sensors arrays you would want to spoof.
Layers of middlemen

The company itself is contracting, they just cut out a huge value-skimping set of middlemen, and the savings involved mean they can simultaneously undercut their competitors while pocketing more money, which is fed into employees' salaries.
Diminishing a person's job in an attempt to discredit their feedback has even less credibility.
Think how weak the true worth of Bitcoin must be if the word of one man can effect so much. Does the value of gold, silver or diamonds change that much just because of an interview?

The closest thing I can think of is investment stock, and even then the asset value of the companies put a lower value on the stock, but what does any cryptocoin have to back it's value?
The customization in the desktop of GNOME itself is still there, but it has mostly moved to shell extensions. If you're willing to deal with that, you can change quite a bit of functionality.

The apps are a different story, those tend not to go for a lot of customization and will usually just focus on optimizing for one or two use cases. If you have other use cases, the suggestion there would probably be to make a separate app.
Disrupting media operations by blowing up their facilities and equipment is clearly deleterious to their ability to report news. You claim that media organizations are largely unaffected but speculate that Hamas operations in the same building are affected. I find it difficult to wrap my head around the mental gymnastics required to believe those two things simultaneously.

It's like saying without evidence, "Verizon's operations in the World Trade Center were basically unaffected on 9/11, but Morgan Stanley's operations there were crippled."
Whether you want it or not, you'll end up encountering them, not necessarily with enough context to tell you what they are. Example from regular news: 1000軒停電.1000世帯停電.1000戸停電.(and they all point to something slightly different)

Of course, it depends what you use Japanese for.
Eventual consistency is a stronger guarantee than you get with a remote git repo. It actually works fine for a large number of use cases.

CRDTs are just a way of implementing eventual consistency in provably predictable and 'reasonable' manners. I will agree they are very limited data structures, but I disagree that they only work for very simple situations. I'd liken them to an immutable list in FP. Very limited data structure, but can be used cleverly to create very complicated ones that maintain the same invariants.
I don't think that necessarily follows? I don't see why you can't have very intuitive and logical inconsistency.

To give a super simple example, imagine a database on two servers A and B. A is the canonical copy, and updates are streamed to B. All responses from A and B are of the form "the data as of <time> was x". During a partition B will simply serve increasingly stale data.
> By sacrificing consistency you enter a realm where logic and cause and effect no longer apply

The "C" in CAP refers to linearizable consistency, which is much stricter than causal consistency. You can build an AP system that is causally consistent.
Not trying to be unhelpful, but if the assertion was not immediately evident, then you're missing a huge chunk of basic undergrad EE theory that cannot be dismissed as merely academic. I'd recommend reading the spec (it's only 10 pages) and coming to your own conclusions.

To your shift register question---which is the only one with enough detail to afford a quick answer---referencing JEDEC JESD8C.01 § 2.3 Table 2 as basis of comparison: yes wrt VILmax, and no wrt VIHmin...at face value, it doesn't comply with industry standard, but is nevertheless permissible by Pmod spec because, well, it's a shit spec by a sample size of 1 engineer's measure.

To your TinyFPGA question, I don't care to ponder the design considerations (or lack thereof) of arbitrary hobbyist dev boards in the wild. In the nicest way possible, it's a complete waste of my time, sorry.

Suffice it to say the spec's interconnect choice is the primary limiter, compounded by permissiveness in some aspects, poor specificity in others, and the general ease of abusing objective interoperability while still complying with normative language.

I leave it to the passerby as an exercise to consider the implications of the following notions in this context:

1. All real conductors exhibit certain parasitic properties which deviate from an ideal model; whose characteristics are largely a function of physical geometries, relevant material properties, and the signals that flow in/around them; and whose significance is almost entirely dependent on the application under consideration.

2. An arbitrary signal that satisfies the 3 Dirichlet conditions can be summarily expressed as the linear sum of its fundamental and harmonic sinusoidal components.

3. As a back-of-the-envelope measure, transmission line effects cannot be so easily neglected when, in a point-to-point system, the ratio of the distance that a signal must traverse to the wavelength of the propagating signal itself exceeds roughly 1%.
Wouldn’t that put an undue burden on app developers who have a server-side API if their users were running a bunch of different old versions, en masse?
I think we need to hear from USPS on this. Amazon claims they do not have access in the article.
Far not all applications need SQLite. And SQLite is a bit fatty. In most cases built-in Sciter's NoSQL DB is enough, see: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/docs/md/s... . Feature set is close to MongoDB but in 60 kb.

But anyway Sciter provides an option for host application to link SQLite statically and expose it to JS: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/demos/usc... as set of native objects.

usciter from SDK is an example of application that has SQLite on board.
Minced meat pies are so ubiquitous in Australia that we usually just say "pie". "Mince" is nearly always assumed to be animal meat.

The fruity kind of pies that only appear at Christmas time are called "mince pies", but we should really find another name for them because it's a constant source of disappointment when you expect savoury goodness and are presented with a sugary lump.
The current best estimate of infection fatality rate is not 0.5%. It's actually half that at 0.23%. However the error bars are pretty wide on that number.

> You can make partition tolerance arbitrarily low

I guess you mean 'the need for partition tolerance'. And that is honestly a better way of reading the P - effectively as 'partitionable'.

CAP says if you are making a partitionable system, it can't guarantee both consistency and availability. If you want consistency and availability, you will have to make the system unpartitionable - effectively, not distributed.

The idea of 'partition tolerance' just makes no sense, because it's not really possible to make a 'partition intolerant' partitionable system.

If the definition of a 'partition tolerant' system is one which actively determines, in the face of network partition, whether to stop answering requests because it can't communicate with other nodes, or to nonetheless answer requests in the knowledge that its answers might be inconsistent...

... how would a 'partition intolerant' node be able to do anything different? I suspect the most likely outcome for a system which can't tolerate partition is to lose both consistency AND availability.
The line count determines how much code I have to speed-read at 3 AM because prod is down. My issue with boilerplate is that we have lots of tools for generating it but no well-supported way to summarize it back to something human-readable.

I should be focusing on a high-level description of the problem, and the compiler should be filling in as much of the solution as it possibly can. My brain is made of meat and will never get any faster, so this is the only way for the profession to progress.
There's zero chance this poster isn't a disingenuous shit-stirrer. No real user writes like this.
the "then" isn't necessary: it's an optional bit of syntax taken from HyperTalk, equivalent to the optional semi-colon in javascript

for async transparency the hyperscript runtime looks at the results of every expression and, if it is a promise, resolves the promise before allowing the parent expression to continue evaluating

so you don't actually need to think about (or know) if an expression returns a promise or not, the runtime takes care of it for you, a very unique feature that does require a runtime. And if I'm gonna make a runtime, I'm gonna make a language too

it's also slow as molasses, if you are trying to write a bitcoin miner, for example

but for front end scripting, it usually doesn't matter and the convenience is worth the runtime costs

at least that's the theory

Covid Is Airborne, Scientists Say. Now Authorities Think So, Too
It seems like that argument could equally apply to PoW or startups.
I have to say, that seems like a strange requirement: I have never really considered Emacs (or Lisp) to be particularly Unix-like at all! I think the plan 9 people would probably tell you to ditch Emacs and use acme (Me personally, I say use whatever you want).
Education is essential so yes that is a hypothesis we should be testing.
You're right to use "indices".

The example is just provided to show how inconsistent plurals are in English. 90% of the time you just slap an "s" on the end of a word, but there's a crazy amount of exceptions to that rule.
Here's another way of looking at it:

A - Of course it's not fiat money, but it doesn't need to be. The money in your bank account can be described as virtual too. Folks transact in crypto all the time for goods, services, and "conceptual" transactions like DeFi and NFTs. Maybe it's not widely adopted enough for you to buy a 6-pack of beer at the corner store, but that doesn't mean it's not money. The money in your bank account is just as virtual anyway by your definition. For example: I can't pay with Shekels at a Walmart in Iowa, but I can pay with my debit card and have the bank convert it to the currency in my location, etc...

B - When I say it's programmable money, I'm talking about things like the EVM. Calling it programmable money is reductionist sure, but in effect that's what it is. Cryptocurrency and dapps provide a platform for folks to have complex transactions. Just because you don't want to participate in those transactions doesn't mean others aren't, they clearly are. Also, this stuff doesn't need to fit the traditional definition of currency in order to be viable. To me, it's a distributed computing platform for the exchange of value. Maybe you think it's worse than what we have already, and that's fine, in many way it is, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have benefits of its own.
It gets worse when you try to look up the spec sheets on these processors and their supporting boards. Since for most at the time of copy writing for manuals before production, 8 or 16GB sticks were largest, so naturally the highest supported ram is 2x that, one for each slot. My motherboard said max was 32GB (2x16GB), tried 2x32GB (for a max of 64GB). It worked.
Not to mention the USS Comfort was banned from accepting any Covid patient.
At many Japanese colleges, graduating with ~$40k/year at an office job is considered success after undergoing "seishoku katsudou" which the junior year college hunting process, as long as the company is of good repute. As japan is very homogenous culture wise relative to other countries, it's very common for people to generally start families before ~25/by the end of their 30s. $40k is a salary under which doing this is tight, but not impossible.

Japanese companies also give pay bumps eventually of course, and are very loathe to fire (worker rights are strong in japan), with an engineer's salary of "only" 100k (which honestly was being paid to interns at FAANG 10 years ago) you could raise multiple families here.

There is something called a "super salaryman" which is for salarymen who make ~$100k (1 million yen IIRC). Achieving this status is recognizable and makes a lot of things (getting loans, etc) easier -- that should say something about the mindset.

It's still unclear if engineers in American are ridiculously overpaid, or if engineers in Japan and the EU are ridiculously underpaid. I lean towards the latter.

[EDIT] - forgot something, it used to be common practice in Japan to pay people according to life circumstances (getting married, children, etc) or other things (lots of info here[0] though it doesn't directly cover this was something I learned studying in Japan in some undergrad Japanese management course). It would be naive to think people aren't paid slightly differently because of their life situation here though -- it's very easy to rationalize paying someone more because they have more "responsibility" at home/in society, and maybe arguably even morally correct.

The section that stuck me the most was: “Scientists are calling for ventilation systems to be overhauled like public water supplies were in the 1800s after fetid pipes were found to harbor cholera. Cleaner indoor air won’t just fight the pandemic, it will minimize the risk of catching flu and other respiratory infections that cost the U.S. more than $50 billion a year, researchers said in a study [1] in the journal Science on Friday. Avoiding these germs and their associated sickness and productivity losses would, therefore, offset the cost of upgrading ventilation and filtration in buildings.”

This seems to be a significant shift if it pans out.

"optimizing download size" is a lazy distraction when an OS update can be 1 GB. Goggle really wants to modify the apps for selected individuals. To sugar coat the pill, they came up with the size optimizing story (and reducing carbon footprint, probably).
The standard way to practice large projects is to get a job. That wastes a lot of time, but the silver lining is that you also get paid.
"How hundreds of “Jeopardy!” contestants talked themselves into a baseless conspiracy theory — and won’t be talked out of it."

This particular theory is not baseless, but it is based on a lie. The big mccarthyesque lie that countless politicians and journalists including some at the NYT have peddled, which is that white supremacists are everywhere and you can spot them with certain signs they make or other things they do (which are not racist but might be something a racist would do, according to someone on twitter). And if you make one of these gestures and fail to have known beforehand that it is one of the verboten signals, then that's no excuse, you're still a white supremacist or at least deserve to be treated as one just in case.

It's not that there are no white supremacists or racists, it's just that half the population (including 10-20% of black and hispanic people) are not white supremacists, and their secret grand master plan is not to go around on TV shows flashing the "OK" sign or other such things.
Clearly the demand for this isn't exactly as important as anyone claims given the abject failure of the microloans industry to pan out.

The problem with loans generally isn't that you can have one at 10Am on a Sunday morning.

You would probably still be sued anyway, because why would a reasonable person make a laxative sandwich? The note is obviously a joke.
It does apply in the EU and that's the point, if a US company can't engineer a legal or technical work around then they can't operate in the EU without breaking either US or EU laws.

If the US believes that it's in a strong enough position that these companies can remain competitive while ignoring either US or EU law (and dodging enforcement) then it's welcome to not make amendments to the CLOUD Act. Otherwise it can have US companies lose market share(or suffer EU enforcement actions) or employ diplomatic lines to neuter or work around the law.

You can of course note that the same issue will arise going the other way (EU company operating in the US) but the cost for the EU is obviously judged to be less than what's gained by protecting their citizens (or that it's at least a good drum to beat to trade for other considerations from the US).
Over 50% of the crypto market is PoW. It's not just HN that isn't adopting the new tech.
Where will the rollercoaster take us this time? Will the ride stop or just another dip to build up speed. My guess is another bit of manipulation.
And that is why after typing “if not initialized:” you must as muscle memory immediately type “initialized=True” as the very next line of code.

> you could see employees that were more productive by a large factor.

And you would never be able to pay enough to keep them and still sell at the low prices. They will move on to bigger and better things as soon as they can, and the proof is the astronomical turnover in almost the entire mid and low tier restaurant market. There’s a reason it has the widespread reputation of being the least desirable, dead end jobs.

The proof of my statement being true is reality. All the management at retail stores and restaurants and hotels are not stupid, they just know that the market for buyers willing to pay the extra marginal cost required for buying upper tier labor is too small, and that even with the high turnover, most customers are satisfied and unwilling to pay extra to reduce turnover.

It’s similar to how 80% of people’s needs are solved by tools from
Harbor Freight rather than festool or snap on or other fancy tool brand.
Agree completely. Same thing happened to me (and many others) while studying Japanese. Programming was more fun than language learning.

On the other hand, there are good examples of companies that survived/thrived by selling their tooling (e.g. Unity, Yammer).

Me: Okay. I'm just going to prototype a game. Don't want to get carried away. I won't even use a game engine. I'll use Tabletop Simulator.

Friend: Sounds good. How's it going?

Me: Well. I needed to be able to debug my code. https://github.com/tts-community/moonsharp-tts-debug

Friend: Oh, neat. So your game is done now?

Me: Not exactly. I had to add in matchmaking by reverse engineering Steam. https://github.com/SteamRE/SteamKit/pull/704

Friend: Ah. Alright. Can I play it now?

Me: Nah, I was finding it hard to maintain code. I wrote a Lua code bundler. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/luabundle

Friend: Sweet.

Me: Yeah, I decided to integrate it into the official tooling. https://github.com/Berserk-Games/atom-tabletopsimulator-lua/...

Friend: I'm sure the community will be thankful.

Me: I hope so. I now run a small community of TTS developers. https://github.com/tts-community/

Friend: Right. You must be done by now.

Me: Nah, I couldn't statically type check my code. So I wrote some types. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/tts-types

Friend: Seems unnecessary for a prototype, but sure.

Me: I had to write my own IDE to use them though. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/IntelliJ-Luanalysis

Friend: Right... So how's the game going then?

Me: Oh, I'm not doing that anymore. I now consult for Berserk Games, developer of Tabletop Simulator.

Are you accusing a convolutional neural network of being misogynistic? Despite frequent attempts to muddy the waters by certain self-promoting parties, machine learning is probably the closest to an unbiased system imperfect humans can construct!

Admittedly, it's still vulnerable to Garbage In, Garbage Out as all computer programs are. You have to be careful you're asking the right question, and interpreting the answer correctly, which isn't always as easy as it seems. But to immediately discount the study because it might disagree with your ideology seems like a poor approach (if an all too human one).

Anyway, even in the current hyper-polarized climate, I don't see this study as saying anything particularly controversial unless you're VERY far on the fringe. Male and female brains are different enough physically, especially in certain areas, for a CNN to tell them apart with 90-ish percent accuracy. There's some discussion of what the implications of this might be, but only barely. Given that male and female biology is clearly distinct in any number of other ways, both dramatic and subtle, this is more or less what you'd expect.

you might find this interesting. bubble theory imagines that interacting molecules, let's call them 'scripts', formed simple self replicating metabolisms inside the cavities of hydrothermal vents. At a script level there are two successful strategies: participate in a co-operative network or exploit a co-operative network to self replicate you.
At a community level, excluding non-contributors is beneficial and this pre dates and perhaps leads to the development of cell membrane. In this view cells and viruses co-evolve from the same origin by pursuing different strategies.

It's game theory and tragedy of the commons from day one.
