Examples of these pieces of misinformation include the incorrect assertion that Ukraine donated more money than any other nation to the Clinton Foundation, and the false claim that Donald Trump, as a landlord, once evicted a disabled combat veteran for owning a therapy dog

Both of these examples are the kinds of things that people trot out to show "I don't like Clinton" or "I don't like Trump". To correct someone on them is perceived as an attempt to correct the core assertion, the dislike, via correcting said bit of trivia. This will result in increased hostility.

Well if assumption is gaza itself is military threat basically there are no innocent people or buildings there, so no evidence will suffice.

It is extremely hard to believe that at least by accident that Israel has not bombed civilian target, harder still to believe that all the "Intel" they have is so accurate that they know exactly always which civilian buildings Hamas operates out of during the middle of a war.

Extraordinary claims that not a single civilian target was bombed needs extraordinary proof .

> The marginal cost of a passenger on public transport is much less than the cost of a taxi. Even if the ceiling is double this cost it's still a good deal.

Until private industry starts doing things like the Google buses.

Public museums may charge but they're still heavily subsidized.

Why should I care about the assumptions of a model if that's not the model that is implemented, because the code contains errors?

Obviously the assumptions of the model are important. But I was responding to a claim that the quality of the code is not important, which is also obviously false. Neither discussion alone is sufficient.

To be fair, to suggest widespread flooding in SE Asia during monsoon season is proof of anything at all is kind of disingenuous.
No offense but this is a very naive perspective on certain types of emails. For example for one-on-one cold sales emails you don't need their permission to email them. And there is an entire industry built around that.
1 is the most important. It also has 3 for machine learning.

Rust barely has 2 and 3. Mozilla never pushed it much and it also is not a huge employer. It has 3 if you strech the definition.

They won, but the cost was enormous.

We grieve 58,000 deaths, but they lost more than a million (the figures are very fuzzy).

Their soldiers lived rough as hell, and weren't particularly well-equipped.

We bombed the living hell out of them. We used napalm.

Being an NVC was a tough gig.

From what I can see, Vietnam is actually starting to thrive, and I sincerely wish them the best.
More likely it will be on neither, but if I had to do one, I’d choose bitcoin.

At the very least, Tesla should pay the author for the time between the hire date through until two weeks after the notice the position was eliminated.

Also, it's not like they couldn't use another SWE. Unless the applicant was a specialist, I see no reason they couldn't just train for another position doing similar work, unless the application would prefer not to.

From now on, employees should feel very comfortable leaving Tesla with zero notice.
Every human is valuable. Every human has opinions. But every human’s opinions are not equally valuable.

Their are two reasons for steel reinforcing. The steel can withstand tension and concrete can’t. Even worse concrete in tension fails catastrophically, the steel insures it fails ductally.

Masonry had exactly the same problems and all modern masonry structures are reinforced masonry...reinforced with steel, Just like concrete.

Aluminum and other potential reinforcement materials are less suited than steel because steel and concrete have similar coefficients of thermal expansion. Yes steel can corrode and expand and spall concrete. Other materials will spall concrete simply from seasonal and diurnal changes in temperature.

Concrete designs are engineered and like all engineered systems, there are trade offs between cost and performance. And like any design, use may exceed or deviate from specified design parameters.

USB-C upgrade delivers 240W for gaming laptops and other devices
I lived in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for a couple of months (before the pandemic). Vietnam is probably my favorite country I have ever visited. I hope to come back soon.

When I was in HCMC, I visited the The War Remnants Museum. It is on the same level as Auschwitz in my mind. It made me physically ill.

I was so unbelievably ashamed for my country and it's awful leaders during that time. The more I've learned about the war in the time since, the more I've started to understand that we are heavily indoctrinated in the US to believe a ton of bullshit growing up, particularly in relation to our foreign policy blunders.

I'm sorry for the suffering inflicted upon your country and people.
I suppose they’ll be just as good competing with the existing NFT platforms as they competing with Steam and similar platforms.
> Many buildings have eaves that are an inch or two. The exterior walls of these buildings won't last.

Unless you’re talking about a very old house, this depends a lot on the local climate, construction materials, and design.

You can pretty successfully mitigate water entry with a dimple membrane and a gutter on an exposed wall, for example, and obviously this is a minimal concern if your house is in a desert.

(I’m not a trained architect, just someone interested in building science.)
Annoyingly, the government already sorta does this: many federal jobs, as well as the patent bar, require an ABET-accredited degree.

The catch is that many prominent CS programs don’t care about ABET: DeVry is certified, but CMU and Stanford are not, so it’s not clear to me that this really captures “top talent.”
"...by the mid-’70s, a force the U.S. military conceded was one of the finest in the world"

I wonder how much of this is truth, or it's just the US trying to save face by claiming that they've lost to a world-class military.

My dad was a hospital corpsman on the USS Repose (hospital ship) during Vietnam. Having seen some of his operating room photos, I can't imagine that we were on the "winning" side.

The video above is his amateur footage he took while aboard the ship. Probably 1968/1969.

I had the film digitized after he passed in 2016.
It's an infrastructure problem that money can mitigate.
The key if you want to spread a big lie as quickly as possible is to make it as outrageous and threatening as possible. Tell people someone is going to hurt them, or destroy the country or whatever, and they’ll be way too upset to check facts and will spread the lie like wildfire before the fact checkers can catch up.

If you read some news story or editorial, ask yourself: how did it make me feel? Was it upsetting and threatening? Did it demand immediate action? Am I afraid or angry right now?

When that happens, double check.
I've been working for 20 years and I've had 6 different jobs. I have never once had multiple simultaneous offers for new jobs. In my experience it's been offer; acceptance; agree on start date; then give notice.
Are you trying to convince us that Tokyo has better infrastructure than Saigon?

Because I don't think anyone was arguing otherwise. The person you replied to merely said the poverty in Vietnam wasn't as bad as they expected. I'm not sure how you went from that to flooding.
Out of curiosity, do the scripts you write take options or arguments? Or are they generally just invoked directly?
I'd say its almost free compared to the alternatives like community programs/activities. It doesn't sound as fulfilling but if someone can entertain themselves by sitting on their own on a train, let them go at it.
People aren't guided by critical thinking. They're guided by their trust network.

China was not on friendly terms with the north. They invaded Vietnam shortly after the Americans left, in response to Vietnam's actions in Cambodia.

I could easily tell the difference between 128kbps and the other two. Telling the difference between the 320kbps and uncompressed was close to random at first. Once I know which is which I can pick each out. So the problem isn't being able to tell that there's a difference, but telling which is closer to the original. Each piece can have a clear tell, like the timbre of a particular note that's played in a busy soundscape. I used to have excellent hearing and now my high frequency hearing drops off at about 15kHz. I think because of this sometimes content that has already had some low-pass filtering may seem more natural where I can hear all that is being reproduced. I could tell the differences using an LG G8 QuadDAC on JVC HA-FXD80 earphones or the Surface Go speakers 3/4 volume at arms length.

[Edit: I'd also been drinking tonight which raises my blood pressure and I can hear slight ringing in my ears triggered by bloodflow or viscosity change. I can try the test again tomorrow.]

The best indicator for sound qualify is how long I enjoy actively listening to music. With a good source and sound production I can literally do nothing other than listen to the music for hours and not fidget with or read anything. Same with club systems. If it's not good I won't really have a good time for long. The Alpha Dynacord at Stereo in Montreal was amazing the time I heard it with 45 vinyls being played.

Live and let live. I'd like less judgement for being like The Matrix character Cypher:

Slight change, at least in that case the __people__ would have wanted him.

It's more like if Joe Biden somehow appeared with a trillion dollars, bought the Presidency from the former President (Can the President even do that? Probably not, but it happened!) and went "Yeah I own this now." And then add in the rest of your comment and it matches up pretty well.

Do you disagree that a large factor in the reformation being more successful (and bloody) was the printing press? That there were similar, smaller, failed movements beforehand seems irrelevant.

I still don't understand why the author, in an anti new technology article, would cite the printing press and protestant reformation as an example of people being overly concerned about new technology. To me it seems like there were severe immediate consequences from that technology.
Interesting. That has not been my experience at all. For every job I'd get multiple simultaneous offers then use them for leverage against each other one, then accept the best one.
In France you have to stay for some time if you're resigning: https://www.welcometofrance.com/en/fiche/resignation

For example, IT consultants usually need to stay for around 3 months following their resignation.

It's the other side of the coin of strong employment laws that make it very hard for people with permanent positions to be let go, unlike the US.
I'm really not sure what point you're arguing. That Japan is many times richer than Vietnam? (You don't say!).

It's even worse because a lot of top companies lock you in with offers 8-10 months before the start date, and college kids don't know any better.
They're probably not aware of it, but this isn't an isolated case. Google clearly is not aware of a ton of problematic stuff in the ecosystem they've created. That's the problem here.

As for how much they're profiting off of it? Probably not much from just the Belarusian government, but they don't just have morally awful ads by Belarus, they have morally awful ads coming from probably thousands of advertisers. This one is just exceptionally disgusting. But I doubt an actual human was even involved in the responses about this ad.

Common Lisp was considered too big in its day but compared to many modern languages it is quite small (only 25 or so special forms, most of which are rarely used; few built in types).

I think the problem was that there was still too much of a separation between the language itself and user written functions. Because so much of the language cares about object identity, one couldn’t write a portable hash table oneself. Making a data structure like a search tree becomes hard because there isn’t a good way to sort arbitrary objects of arbitrary type or embed a specific sorting function and type check. CLOS is both massive and poorly integrated. The language is full of features that are old (rplca), hard to compile (&rest, adjustable arrays with fill pointers whose data is from another array at an offset), inextensible (loop, +), half-baked (types), or difficult (pathnames). But it also misses many features (eg threads). Without a refreshed standard it is hard for the language to move forward while code remains portable.

In some ways I think of Julia and clojure as successors. Julia has types and multimethods working very well together but drops method combinations, pervasive mutability, lists, symbols, and syntax for good macros. Clojure keeps the macro-happy syntax and symbols, bins the mutability, and makes the data structures more compatible, functional and efficient.

Obviously this doesn’t have so much relevance to emacs past or present.

One of the most difficult to argue comments in code reviews: “let’s make it generic in case we need it some place else”.
First of all, chances that we need it some place else aren’t exactly high, unless you are writing a library and code explicitly design to be shared. And even if such need arises, chances of getting it right generalizing from one example are slim.

Regarding the book though, I have participated in one of the workshops with the author and he seemed to be in favor of WER and against “architecting” levels of abstraction before having concrete examples.
But we can make new words.
Google had to postpone Android phones once iPhone launched because Google realized how badly they'd misjudged smartphones, particularly on-screen keyboards & multi-touch (& thinking that their primary competitor was Microsoft and Nokia & not Apple). It's actually a testament to the leadership that they managed to recognize that Apple was the 800lb gorilla here so quickly (which clearly wasn't obvious to other competitors in the space).

If gamepass wasn't pushed so heavily (and is fully offline), I may be inclined to agree. But I think they backed off on that 2013 mentality, at least for a few generations.

In any case, Microsoft makes their own laptops. This would ultimately just be a Surface tablet with some attachable controllers. I don't see the issue here.

I certainly support contract law. What I don’t want is coercion. They make a device, offer it to you with a contract, and you can say yes or no.

It’s that simple.

No. You'd be using pre-existing high-level tools for this purpose (in Python land this would be pandas, matplotlib, jupyter etc).

Not all software development should involve writing your own framework, and it's a bit of a trope that junior SWEs try to write DSLs and frameworks where they should just write some throwaway code. That said, if there's a common modelling or simulation method in your field and there's no great open source generic framework for it, then you should take a hard look at what you are all spending your time on (endlessly reimplementing the wheel).
I think that depends where you are. There's a lot of lip-service being paid, but from what I've seen, it's mostly translated to talking about _landings_ rather than _launchings_, which isn't much of a change.

David and Mike, thanks for the confirmation.
The PCB thing is huge.

Back in the 90s I was carefully tracing out circuits with a resist pen, etching them with a ferric chloride bath and hand-drilling the component holes. Not only was this extremely finicky and time-consuming, it was expensive! I only ever made a handful of boards of my own design.
This seems like a good question, and I also hope someone with good knowledge/experience around this to give some good comparison.

I have given only very cursory look into QNX and Fuchsia/Zircon and it seems that one of the main difference is the capabilities-based architecture in Fuchsia. It's a big change in the API/conceptual model, but we'll have to see if that actually translates into a meaningful difference at the application level - e.g. whether it allows building new types of applications, or allows building meaningfully more secure/fast/reliable applications.
