When I was mod of an internet community of fellow professionals I assented to the banning of a colleague who wasn't accused of anything that I found fault with but that was almost like something bad, which weirded people out. The person defended themselves in great detail when we asked them about it, going into very personal information, with trustworthy witnesses - nobody at any point, either accuser or accused, made any claim of behaviour that warranted this person being punished in any way IMO. But I didn't stand firm enough against the other moderatorship, who just didn't want anything to do with this person. I was feeling very Ned Stark and almost proud of taking on the task of handing the colleague the bad news myself that they were being expelled, never telling them I had misgivings. At some point I will have to apologise to them...
Interesting - what is it about SwiftUI that you like?
Take a look at seedboxes.
I 100% agree with everything you're saying. Saying he was being a pain in the ass is being nice about it. The case was a terrible one for testing the limits of what a professional licensing organization can do. However, it's now legal precedent and almost certainly impacts the Strong Towns case.

> There were jokes aplenty about the ultra-wide distortion on the camera, but this is all a fairly cheap jab at what is really a very impressive bit of software.

No, you know what, it isn't. I'll just say it, it's not impressive software at all, and the fact that they can't apply simple lens correction is a little embarrassing. In high school, I worked in a FIRST robotics club where we had to design, program and test our own computer vision models on robots, which would need to complete various tasks to varying degrees of precision. To that point, I have seen high-school Juniors write a program that can track your face in Python, it's really not some sort of mind-blowing, next gen thing.

Overall, I'm starting to really hate these Halide reviews. Their lifeline is based on the success of Apple hardware, why should they consider themselves a credible and unbiased source in these reviews? It's glaringly unprofessional at best, and downright cringe-inducing at worst.
These are indeed impressive but one thing I know for sure is that from the iPhone 7 onwards I never gotten a single picture that looks nearly as good as anything that these professional review sites get.

Phones are now as tricky as DSLRs to fully exploit.

> Client applications would not need to be hard-coded with any domain-specific knowledge of the server-side APIs they interact with. Instead, they would discover all the available resources and operations dynamically, at runtime. A client application developed for one hypermedia API could be easily forked and modified for another hypermedia-driven web service. And "smart clients", which are capable of consuming any hypermedia API with a common grammar, could become a reality.

This is WSDL and WADL, basically, except there's no common grammar to render a usable interface. The only real thing like what is described is a browser.

If you want a universal interface, you make a web app, and the browser is the universal UI. Otherwise you just make a crappy console app and a crappy custom protocol using a HTTP API (or if you hate compatibility, simplicity and convenience: gRPC).

To answer the poster's question, no, we're not going to rebrand REST. There are tons of improperly used terms that have been around for ages, they do not get rebranded. You just have to make a new thing and give it a new name and hope that it too isn't misused. ("DevOps" is the most glaring example to me, but also add "hacker", "crypto", "web", "cloud", "container", etc)
Do you disagree with either the specific operationalization of trust in the article or even the abstract concept of operationalization of trust in general?
I’ve never heard of USB-C causing a fire. The control ICs should cut the current the moment anything is out of spec. Do you have any examples of that?
Good observation, it looks like it. It probably makes upgrading/ maintenance easier since the unit of failure is smaller. Of course, you can also only tackle stuff, that demands no more than 64 cores before you have to rearchitecture your monolith into a distributed system, which has lots of overhead.
I don't think we can actually solve this on a case by case basis. Other threads in this discussion have highlighted cultural normalization of greed in one of its various forms and I would tend to agree with that angle.

Those systems that can be built to be resistant to greed would definitely benefit from it - but I think it's more of an issue with society at large.
How about more employee friendly labor law so people can't get fired because of public pressure? Without teeth, this mob justice will be less of a real world problem and more contained to social media.
Eric Carle Has Died
A really awesome talk - it's nowhere close to my field of research, but it is oh so relevant anyways, thank you for linking it and I'd recommend everyone interested in this larger topic to listen to what Stonebraker had to say on this.

And one of the suggested solutions (at ~22:00) seems that it would work if it can be adopted - essentially, have top university administrators evaluate top x papers for hiring/tenure decisions and ignore everything beyond that number. What you measure is what you get; if you measure count, you get a deluge of 'least publishable units', if you measure your top 3 papers, then everyone will focus on quality instead of quantity. A counterargument probably is that it's easier for the administors to measure quantity in a way that seems objective and resistant to any arguments or appeals decisions, and it's far harder to objectively compare quality especially if the candidates are from different subfields of research.
Slant related: I've never seen anyone asking where the upvotes came from, and that makes the opposite a bit odd across the board for me.
Agree! My wife stumbled across The Expanse soon after we finished watching all 7 seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and couldn't bear the thought of sitting through Voyager or Enterprise.

The Expanse's culture (language, slingshot gravity-racer livestream stars, class relations, etc.) feel so plausible. And the character relationships are deeply nuanced - like how even though Ashford was always challenging Drummer's control of The Behemoth, they showed genuine mutual respect, even love, for one another when it mattered.
That's not at all how racism and sexism work.

Racism and sexism depend on power imbalance, and calling out centuries of existence of either when exploring if there is a power imbalance at play is not related.

Saying "This race is inferior" is vastly different than saying, "This race was and is still exploited by power structures." Do you understand difference?
Probably why we need more and more trustless systems. Hopefully crypto works.

That's just human beings acting like human beings. Every orthodoxy behaves the same way up to a point because this is how primate power hierarchies behave.

The thing that makes science different isn't that scientists are more rational than everyone else but that it's possible to challenge a scientific finding with evidence. Even with evidence some people will still resist, but if you publish your experiment and your findings and it gets replicated you at least have a chance of changing enough minds to change overall opinion quickly.

Other kinds of dogmas such as religious or (most) political ideologies are untestable and therefore impossible to challenge in any way other than through force or sophistry (force of mental gymnastics?). Opinions in those spheres therefore change very, very slowly and usually more in response to unrelated events such as demographic shifts or wars than in response to anything relevant to the topic.

So what would that look like? Would employers no longer field public complaints about potential problem employees, under any circumstances? In effect, they would be required to always side with the employee in case of a dispute?
1) The case in question is about "engineer", not "professional engineer". The legal system agreed with him, so I'm not sure what your complaint is?

2) That's very vague. Can you elaborate?

Or the OpenAI venture fund is an acknowledgement that success requires an ecosystem that extends beyond their front door. Funding startups is a great way to signal that OpenAI thinks their stuff is so compelling that it will lead to startup-worthy ROI. It is also a way to get a track on potential acquisitions.

The alternative is a pure NIH strategy, or build something and hope for partners, both of which are flawed.

And regarding the Thiel snippet, dividends are isomorphic to stock buybacks, which Google has been doing for a while. They seem to still be a tech company, at least as far as my Ex-Googler eyes can judge.
You are conflating small-time investors with non-accredited investors. Yes you will have trouble if you started a company by borrowing a hundred bucks each from all your friends, extended family and random bystanders, but for almost all startups there are exactly zero non-accredited investors on any cap table. Most investors are accredited without even realizing it.
How to Generate Pure Oxygen and Hydrogen at Home – Homemade Circuit Projects
That is correct, and I edited my comment to remove ambiguity. What I meant was to emphasize that Marohn was not aware of a complaint against him until after his license had already been renewed, as the MN board pressed action after the license renewal had already taken place. The complaint that led to the board action did happen during the lapse period.

Refreshing to see someone on the inside who notices.

Yeah, the only "evidence" brought by the women are screenshots from anonymous Twitter accounts with no proof they're associated with Pasquale. Surely someone must have a harassing message from the guy?

Also, not proud of this, but I used to have a weird troll dating account. I sent weird messages to women that I didn't know, but nothing offensive (to me). I googled my username once and found that someone had thought it was her ex. She posted it on Reddit in an alcoholism subreddit, and anyone in the thread questioning her was then also accused by her of being her ex under an alt. It was insane.

> Once people realized academics could be leveraged to do cool shit like build A-Bombs, it was over.

Arguably, it's the opposite. Once people realized academics could do this kind of cool shit, they got showered with money and told to do whatever the they want. That's how we got the incredible scientific and engineering advances of the second half of 20th century.

Then the beancounters started asking questions about what the money actually buys, and research quickly turned into another short-term, self-contained, profit-chasing game, starved for resources and only occasionally producing something actually useful.
Yes, although if I recall, that case turned in large part on whether the law could restrict calling oneself an engineer in general as opposed to misrepresenting oneself as a Licensed Professional Engineer.

In this case, Marohn was unambiguously representing himself as a PE, for example in this article that was written during the period in which his license has lapsed (see author bio at bottom of page):

https://web.archive.org/web/20191227151521/https://www.stron...

So this case will have to push a bit further than that previous one, although the precedent may help.
> Humans have experienced 120m sea level rise since the last ice age.

Human civilization didn’t, because human civilization didn’t exist at the last glacial maximum, and almost all of that rise was before human civilization existed. Low density nomadic hunter-gatherer existence is less disrupted by sea level change than settled agriculture and industry.
That's just horrible.

Why does the C committee keep wanting to make the language into C++?

Is this something that rank and file programmers actually want? Is this something that library writers are demanding?

At this point, I think I'm pretty fine with C anchoring down on features unless there is an absolutely pressing demand. There are enough newer languages experimenting in the space that I don't feel the need to pollute C with this stuff until those languages hash it all out.

> The only requirement is for ideas to be popular within a large community that finds them legitimate.

We live in a community and aren’t individually capable of mastering all these modern competencies. The healthy way to manage these burdens is to share them with community members and to trade on faith or credibility.

We can’t all be empiricists. Unfortunately communities can vary drastically in the number of lawyers, doctors, dentists, and scientists made available, and some have become thoroughly infected with misinformation, such as anti-COVID folks.

I've been a using vim for well over a decade. I switched over to neovim for the native LSP support. I spend most of my time programming in neovim but I also have goland installed which I use for high level refactorings such as "extract method" or "change signature". Once I can do these high level refactors with nvim+gopls then I can finally leave goland.

Can't say I really care about more syntax highlighting or lua. Less config is better.
There's a few contributing factors to down payments being lower. Like with FHA loans, you can have a very minimal down payment, however unlike a conventional loan, the 'MIP' (the insurance comparable to a Conventional's PMI) will never go away on a new FHA loan if your original down payment was less than 10%.

So, what a lot of people do is either just eat that extra cost (for lower cost homes, it more or less comes out to the equivalent of an additional 0.8-1%) for the life of the loan, or refinance out to a conventional loan once they're below 80% LTV.

There is also the shady case of the 80/20 Mortgage. Basically, you take out one 'primary' mortgage for 80% of the home's value, and then a second mortgage or HELOC on 20% of the rest.

This can in some cases be cheaper, but arguably goes against the whole spirit of PMI in the first place. (Not saying I don't have issues with the way PMI/MIP works...)

The idea of a justice system in a democracy is (a) the laws are agreed upon through the political process and (b) due process and impartial consideration are applied in casting a judgment.

"Cancel culture" is primarily enforcing things that (a) have not reached the same political consensus as codified law, like laws against theft or murder, and (b) are enforced by impulse, hearsay, and mob mentality.
> applies to all states and jurisdictions

Federal courts and precedents don't work that way. The ruling came from the federal district court for Oregon. As such, it's only binding for the district. If a federal court in another district comes to a different conclusion, then an appeal to the circuit court might happen. Michigan and Oregon are in different appellate circuits (6th and 9th, respectively) so if there were different rulings in each circuit, and an appeal to the Supreme Court succeeds and the court rules, only then does the ruling become binding across all states an jurisdictions.

For now, the ruling is only binding in the District of Oregon.

Is this really an American thing?

At least in academia, American universities (and Western universities in general) have had a good track record overall with academic integrity, and it has set them apart. This seems to have degraded recently, perhaps because of the increasing pressure of the “publish or perish” system (or dozens of other potential causes).

We do celebrate people who excel academically seemingly effortlessly. But we don’t celebrate bullshit artists so much in school. In business, and particularly tech, it’s another story.
