They made a shit hiring decision, because graduates in applied math and scientific computing are plentiful and this is their bread and butter.

But moving past that, first of all there is no book that would help you here. Most introductory textbooks will focus on implementing numerical methods and the math behind those methods. You most definitely should not try to write any numerical code yourself. What you need is a general know how of how to build a simulation pipeline. There is no textbook or class that covers this as far as I know. Graduate students learn it on the job.

Your MATLAB/Python scripts are already using the most optimized libraries. For parallelization, you have two options. There is OpenMPI, which can be used with most languages and MATLAB has its own built in parallelism library. OpenMPI is much more technical and you need to actually understand what the code is doing to use it, so this is not an option for you. I suggest you get acquainted with MATLAB and do everything in MATLAB. If they have code written in other languages it is easier to rewrite it in MATLAB than to try to do anything else. Translating numpy to MATLAB is not very hard. Since they have a MATLAB license you might benefit from some MATLAB training that they might have access to. I know MATLAB offers online classes and seminars and maybe even technical support.
Thinking about it, a book on the MATLAB environment might be very useful for you. I cannot give you any suggestions though.

And ignore the other comments. They aren't any good. You most definitely don't want to rewrite your simulation in FORTRAN. MATLAB is already using FORTRAN under the hood.
You’re not talking about how end users are protected against installing malicious applications, so at best this is irrelevant.
My manager at a previous job a few years ago told me about Urbit, I found the website, and I was extremely confused to what it actually was.

Re-reading it now, I'm still a little confused.
Surly still makes a lot of all purpose bikes. The big brands also have a model or two, Trek has the 520 and the current 920 but they're drop bar models, also Giant with their Tough Road line. But they're not really that marketed since then one wouldn't need multiple bikes.
It still basically does not differentiate between Epic Games and me. And I can’t handle the fines. The chilling effect this will have on people is being downplayed pretty harshly by people who are basically suggesting you should just pray that you don’t get put into massive debt because you made a mistake on a side project.

For that reason, GDPR will always draw some ire from me.
I find the incredulousness around urbit's differences and ambition very tiresome. I have an urbit ship, I bought the identity when it was not so expensive. I've hardly used it; I'm not a pioneer sort of person and I've not found the time to get into Hoon. I'm not at all a true believer (to extend the cult comparison, which strikes me as unfair too); I think there are a few concerns you could raise (I agree on OTA updates and address space, and would add governance and power relations). But I for one welcome an ambitious re-thinking of (a subset of) computing and I wish them the best. I mean, run it in a VM or something and probably don't use it for anything sensitive right now. I want to live in a world where people have a go at unconventional things.
OMG :facepalm: I can't even begin to imagine who coded this, and why?!

Basically:

If you open a folder from a "shortcut" from the sidebar, and press Cmd+J, you get the barren options from the screenshot: https://imgur.com/3meteoB. And it doesn't matter if you keep clicking on other folders

Since I always use just a few folders linked from the sidebar, that's what I would always get.

To get to the "actual finder window", you have to select a folder, and press Cmd + Down to "open it". Visually, nothing changes. But the View Options do: https://imgur.com/EJuqWDC

It still doesn't have the "set as default", but, at the very least, it now looks more like your screenshot.

I'm literally at a loss for words.

Edit: more over, if you Cmd+Tab back, and your current folder is a subfolder of an item in the sidebar, the Cmd-J panel resets back to its barren view. Why?!!
You could put a thin plastic/silicon stencil over the screen, with holes in the places where the buttons are located, which makes it possible to feel where the buttons are.

The point that there is no shortage of tax havens in the EU itself, including leading EU nations, is true.

Luxembourg, City of London, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Netherlands, Belgium, the Vatican, Switzerland (sort of), Malta, all for slightly different reasons. I've even read articles from these nations where they point out that the only way they'll ever distinguish themselves is with tax law. Or rather: that they'd be broke if they weren't tax havens.

And then we're remaining silent about "royal" tax havens that are individual companies which get preferential tax treatment from parliaments (e.g. Shell) and, uh, I guess "presidential" Total. These deals, for individual companies, are far more atrocious (and forced on tax departments) than any tax haven you'll find. They are directly enriching favored individuals in a particular country, and get tax advantaged for it.

And to add a more "creative" situation to terminate, Cyprus is a double tax haven (both the Greek and Turkish parts of the Island are tax havens, for different reasons, interesting for different types of individuals and/or companies, but the fact that money can cross the line, even if people cannot, offers interesting opportunities as well). Neither side of the Island will ever have anything to offer the world other than some small tourism industry, so ... for them as well being a tax haven is the only option (other than, I guess, war).

So what do you do about the problem that many of these countries have no real options other than being tax havens?
What are you on about? there is 0 competition for Nintendo, that is why they are able to sell 80 millions of units in the first place

No matter what game pass strategy is, it will not work on smartphones, console gamers doesn't want to play on smartphone using touchscreen controls, and smartphone gamers doesn't want to play console games because they aren't designed for their device in the first place

XCloud is not a tech ready for wide adoption, everyone with a smartphone know how shitty the network is in busy cities at peak hours, even when at home it's not perfect, wifi? then daddy will complain because he can't stream his netflix movie anymore
Ideally two photos side by side, one of the old style and the new style.
The only good thing about Urbit are the Jorge Luis Borges references.

Fun fact, the creator of Urbit, Curtis Yarvin, is a far-right blogger with some pretty crazy ideas:

http://distributedweb.care/posts/who-owns-the-stars/

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

> Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American far-right blogger. Yarvin and his ideas are often associated with the alt-right. From 2007 to 2014, he authored a blog called "Unqualified Reservations", which argued that American democracy is a failed experiment, and that it should be replaced by monarchy or corporate governance. He is known, along with fellow neo-reactionary Nick Land, for developing the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic ideas behind the Dark Enlightenment.

I find there are tendencies among some people in tech to bring upon what I would consider the crypto dystopia. Cryptocurrency is one such idea. Like money, but every bit of democratic control and negotiability is removed. It enshrines a kind of cutthroat capitalism with the ruthlessness of an algorithm. (When it works as indended. Currently it's mostly used as a ponzi scheme or to buy drugs, but that's a different story.)

An immutable publication record and undeniable cryptographic identity is another idea which is dystopic to me. In more benign form you find it in IPFS etc., but the culmination of this idea is certainly Urbit.
I seriously don't understand why are you defending that trans-women don't have a physical advantage against women?

The article is about post-puberty trans women dominating the first places. High-performance athletes train hard, but also have an innate biological advantage that gives them that slight edge to reach the podium. Post-puberty trans women had their innate biological advantage growing male, and hormone replacement can lessen, but not fully revert that.
I enjoy the music, but when you click to start, if there were two buttons it would be nice: click to start (silent) and start (with audio)
I'm not easily chocked by the race wars in the US these days but I hadn't heard about this incident before and I can hardly believe what I'm reading. Good god. The city block pictures look like WW2 images...

Another use: on my oldests bmx race bike, he has a disc brake setup. It is like 300% easier to work on. Pull the axle, and the wheel falls out. No futzing with the caliper to get the wheel off the frame, not concerns about getting the wheel on the exact correct spot.
Having worked a bit with candy making and baking from home sized to restaurant sized to a regional factory, I'll say this analogy doesn't make sense.

Almost all the progression in that industry is relatively straight forward and would make sense to the lay person.
I worked at a prestigious physics lab working for the top researcher in a field. It absolutely happens there and probably everywhere.

The only way to fix replication issues is to give financial and career incentives for doing replication work. Right now there are few carrots and many sticks.
I've run into some places where a subdomain email is not ok, which has been pretty annoying. All email validators should be able to at least take first.last+company@subdomain.example.com
I skated from 10 to 20 and staeted again with 30. I never had a single issue with my knees. Usually I can feel my ankles after a long session, but that isn't really something.

If you are
worried about your knees there are certainly low impact tricks (most of the freestyle stuff) that you could start with. This is also a great way to start, because you learn to control your board before actually trying stuff that might hurt your joints.

The thing I love about skateboarding is that you can do it everywhere, and you can do it alone. It never gets old and it changes the way you look at places in a good way.
> So, the great amazing disruptive technology that is going to completely change the world... broke as soon as a tiny fraction of the world start paying any attention to it.

This is shifting the goalposts massively. The original comment was that there was no use-case for Blockchain. You are also talking about a component of cryptocurrencies as if they were the whole. The issue with the viability of cryptocurrencies is not tied to the blockchain but rather human investor behaviour.

> Literally none of those applications require blockchain, and blockchain solves literally none of the problems in those domains.

I'm not sure what you've imagined the applications in question are but you appear to have invented them and decided they don't work; I didn't provide any specific examples.

If you want a specific example of where it's addressing things and is being put to use: Provenance. If you don't mind a bit of dry reading the ieee has a decent writeup on the value this provides and the problems it can address: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8909921

Are you sure about that? Mac mini price is $700. Let's take ryzen 5600x for comparison which is worse on almost each metric than m1:

Processor: $300
Motherboard: $200
good 256 gb SSD: $100(doesn't seem to come close to apple's)
8 GB RAM: $40
Case/cooling: $100

Even in the configuration which is worse in each of the spec, you are hitting more than apple including apple tax.

But yeah, I agree if you want an upgrade of RAM and SSD, it is much expensive than the part.
I (not OP) highlight text as I'm reading it. Sometimes paragraph at a time, sometimes with frantic mouse movements and clicking highlighting a few words or a sentence at a time.

I will admit it's very weird to watch, but it helps my ADHD concentrate.

Cost of Living differences exist you know. I nominally make twice as much as people I know in non-"gen-Z" countries but we have the same quality of life.
Apple is always coming up with new "trust us this is better" ways to do things, seemingly without thought for how they interact with older "trust us this is better" things. TFA has a great example. MacOS made the "Applications" directory because Steve Jobs thought installing an application should be something you do via a "drag". Everything should be a drag! Eject a CD? Drag it? Where? Uh, hell, the trash can! Want to copy files? Don't copy-paste like a rube, instead drag it! And the App Store is an abstraction where the user doesn't need to know that the Applications directory exists, oops.
Don't let people enter their data onto your side projects unless you're willing to treat it responsibly?
The Fluent python book is fantastic for exactly that.
I actually made a GDPR request to my insurance company. Turns out that not only did they have documents about me before I had ever signed a contract with them, they had documents about me before I was even born.
Intelligence in the Tech Stack: Applying New Frameworks to Existing Problems
Finding is a query. Deleting is destructive. Make sure that you are not nesting your destructions within a query.

You would first build a pure function that read the files and returned matching lines. You could then display the count of the matched lines, and if the user wants they can see those lines and what line number it is. This looks a lot like a dry-run.

You can then pass these results into an executor. You then build a system that combines all deletes of a file and passes that to your DeleteLinesInFile fuction that does so in a single transaction. Cycle through each file and voila.
I think their point was that TK&Co do ignore the humanity for the "success" (ie: their money)
> I think the use case is "I haven't yet completely grokked the borrow checker and/or I don't have time to pacify it, but I would prefer not to copy potentially large data structures all over with Clone".

For basic stuff I agree, though I wouldn't use it.

> about the Rust community prescribing this as a solution to newcomers.

There's probably a sweet spot for using those constructs in not so obvious places while going through the simpler stuff in a more idiomatic way
A majority of people took the standard deduction prior to the changes too, just not quite such a big majority.

In any case, the standard deduction does have the effect of significantly reducing the administrative burden of taxation, and it crosses off one of the arguments used in favor of pointlessly complex tax filing.
I think you mean two-finger tap? I only use the trackpad and find the two-finger tap far more efficient. I'd never buy the Apple mouse, though.
I've run into this with labcorp. Their desktop webapp takes subdomain emails, but their mobile iOS health webpage login thinks a subdomain email is invalid and disables the login button. They also don't let you change your account email so you can never really fix this issue properly.
I think every "deep" copy ultimately has some limitation like this. Even in Python, an object can implement __deepcopy__() to prevent copy.deepcopy() from "copying too much", and things like file objects, classes, and modules get special treatment.
My name, my address, my phone number and my credit card details are the same regardless whether you or Epic Games is storing them in a database.
The only thing end to end encrypted in Telegram is 1 on 1 mobile chats and calls, and you have to explicitly enable it.
Well, who do you folks think should be fined next?

Also, can't we just agree that "Legitimate interest" is noncompliance and fine BBC too while at it?
Headshots in doom 1, the game that had auto aiming and no ability to look up originally? Also, fully 3d might make it slower to load in case somebody actually wanted to use this for real. I played a webgl doom clone once that lagged like crazy
I love the author's writing in general, and it obvious that he learned the lesson from this experience. What's insane is that their management has not learned that lesson, from, say, the last 30years of people writing about software project management.

I guess it will take such a caricatural death march to kill a unicorn before people get a clue. (And even that would be surprising. Not the killing - the getting a clue. )

Still, that's almost as great an advertisement for _not_ working at Uber as, say... everything else coming out of Uber.
There is a hypothesis that interest rates naturally fall as wealth becomes more concentrated. Effectively those with money become the only possible consumer, and their consumer needs are bounded.

It's plausible that the current low interest environment is capping future ROI and stock returns.
To me Urbit is a non starter because it was founded by Moldbug who is an incredible racist and they don’t hire people of color.
Well if you're just going to ignore any context in statements, so will I. (Besides that: Fraud is a crime in both Canada and the US; the arguments presented in the Wikipedia article amount to "it's weird to extradite a specific person for this level of fraud", not that it's legal to commit fraud in Canada. I also agree with this!)
Especially when using a country TLD, suffixes like .co.za are appended to the name of the actual ISP or email provider.

How old was Einstein when he published his theory on special relativity? The idea that age is a limiter on significant achievement is moronic.
Most iOS users just don't know how much better it is on Android.

As a developer, I can make apps for my own device without telling (or paying) anybody and use old devices like somebody else might use a Raspberry Pi.

I can use real Firefox with real uBlock Origin.

I can get free apps from Amazon App Store. I can get verified secure open source apps from F-Droid.

I can use separate restricted accounts on my for kids and guests.

I can use a separate launcher experience for driving without needing to purchase a head unit.

I can watch videos (including the "GIFs with sound" that proliferate on Reddit) with the sound off and on-device generated captions. I can copy text from arbitrary screens, even if that text is in a picture.

I can route all my calls through Google Voice or any other calling service. I can open map links in any mapping app I like.

I can use emulators and native apps for game streaming services.

I can have my photos automatically upload in the background.

I can update my browser engine and a lot of other "system software" without a reboot.

I can use headphones without ever charging them. I can unlock my phone while wearing a mask.

I can filter notifications the same way I filter my mail.

Using iOS would be a massive productivity drain as well as an entertainment drain and security loss. Most of the people I have demonstrated these things to have found one or more of these abilities compelling enough to have switched.
It's impossible to tell if someone is being sarcastic on the internet, because no matter how stupid your comment is at face value, there's always a percentage of people on the forum stupid enough to say it in earnest.

Don’t know how discoverable this would qualify it as, been a while since I setup an Apple product from new, but the Tips app does point people in the direction of it. Under the Essentials section of my phone, the HomePod section too if you’ve got one—I remember being pointed at it during setup—probably more if I went digging. Mac OS X’s Help pages ain’t too bad either when I last looked at them a year or so ago, and the Help menu is in every single application, not useful in all of them kind you, but at least the First party stuff it is.

There’s not been zero effort, but it isn’t completely in your face. That said when I reviewed the help pages, pointed a new Mac user at them and told her to go nuts, she refused to look and forgot that menu was there after a while. How do you solve that? People are either curious or they aren’t, but everything a new user needs is pretty much in there if they’re inclined to learn.
I'm usually the guy trashing Django's ORM pretty hard, but I don't think this comment is very fair. It says in the article:

"A new field has been introduced to the model. This way the compatibility does not brake (sic) with other modules that use the existing schema"

Using an indexed range type is a totally valid approach. I doubt it performs better than a multi-column index, but it's unlikely to be worse and you get to use range operators, like overlaps (&&) and others:

The remarks that sparked the analysis are hardly proof of the NYT being "unfair" to conservatives, unless stating that, say, creationism is not science, and gay marriage is legal, could be considered as such.

Slightly better than random tho right? Cause you can plan around predictable things.
Intent doesn’t matter; the fear is the same: life-destroying fines. If that’s the choice, I’d just opt out of taking EU customers.
I think it's OK for people to like things that resemble themselves. We will probably end up with emojis that reflect a variety of different body shapes and so on too.
The `Arc<Mutex<T>>` approach here would make me worried about reference cycles, unless the type relationships here look like a tree/DAG. Out of curiosity, if I store references to other things as opaque `pyo3::PyObject` objects, would the CPython cycle collector be able to see these references and collect their cycles?
You can click whatever you want. Every captcha I’ve done in the last year says I missed something, then lets me pass. If I just click on trees and rocks, same thing, it lets me past. I think all they are doing is deeply fingerprinting you and the image matches are a red herring
Now if only they forced websites to have a single, standardized, accessible, unobtrusive popup~
As mentioned above I skated for more than 10 years and have perfectly fine knees (and all other joints as far as I can tell). And I did crazy stuff, like jumping down stairs higher than myself etc. My younger brother fucked up his knees by playing handball indoors (rapid changes of direction are bad).

So I think it really depends on the individual, and what they are doing. Some people destroy thwir knees by stepping out of bed the wrong way.

Make sure the kid warms up and does stretches before going for anything crazy, that helps a lot.
Which ended in 2003. I'd argue that CPSU, since 1991, has had much less internal influence in Georgia than Armenia, which is still heavily Russian-aligned. Georgia is trying to join NATO...
The only relevant email validation is verifying a user can click on a link or enter some code sent to them to the address specified by them. Without verifying ownership, the email address is worthless as an identifier so making it conform to some syntax is not that relevant and you should not use unverified email addresses as identifiers (identity theft is a thing).

Obsessing about regular expressions for these addresses is generally a waste of time except for maybe preventing a lot of failed attempts to send stuff to a clearly invalid email address. A simple string contains '@' is probably good enough for that. Worst case the email address does not work and you discard the entered information after some reasonable time frame. The user has the option to try again and do a better job of typing their email address.
