Primarily Python, Typescript / React, and AWS.

We have great traction in the fortune 500 and mid-market. We are well-funded by some great VCs and have an experienced leadership team.
Anyone care to speculate why this isn't available on Linux? Is it NVIDIA holding us back?
The 'splinternet' allegedly.

Amazon's track record with privacy and security is much more Apple-esque than Google-esque
I don't think the introductory paragraph of the Gibbs Phenomenon article is bad. Quite the contrary, I think it's well-written. The opening sentence in the Taylor series article is terrible, though, but it's at least factually correct. True horror occurs when there is a major mistake. Incidentally, I encountered one such mistake just an hour ago. In the Encyclopedia of Mathematics published by Springer, there is an article entitled "Schur determinant lemma" (https://encyclopediaofmath.org/wiki/Schur_determinant_lemma), which says that the determinant of a block matrix (in Matlab's notation) [P Q;R S] is det(PS-RQ). But this in general is wrong unless PR=RP. The result that "Schur determinant lemma" or "Schur determinant formula" refers to is actually det[P Q;R S]=det(P)det(R-SP^{-1}Q) (provided that P is invertible).
The parent is entirely wrong about it being puritan based. The US long ago lost its puritan influences as a primary. The US is a very different place today vs the 1960s or 1980s culturally. Puritanism is a small fraction of influence in the US at this point culturally.

The reason Americans drink less alcohol at the median, is due to how American populations are heavily distributed in housing developments, in suburbs, versus the higher density & primate cities that you see in nearly all of Europe. We gather less frequently European-style, we don't walk or bus or train nearly as much, so the majority generally avoids drinking & driving. In the US if you're going somewhere, the odds are high that you're driving to and from; drinking and driving is an incredibly high penalty risk to take now.
> I find this viewpoint exceedingly arrogant. That you somehow know what's best in the case of a novel global pandemic?

Hindsight is, as they say, 20/20. I find the GP's argument very persuasive. Sitting here in June of 2021 and looking back it's so easy to agree with his plan.

But back in May of 2020? All options looked bad, and I think things were a lot less clear. The "full lock down" did only last a couple of weeks, while things things got incredibly muddled quickly as different organizations and regional governments put their own spin on things.

I don't think we really understood enough of the actual mechanics of the virus, nor enough of the social pressures, until it was far too late to course correct (for the reasons the GP describes).
I'm not saying that the law requires that YouTube does this, all I'm saying is that this policy is the result of the AVMSD. Without the extensions to the AVMSD, Google would not have implemented this behaviour. You can argue that they've implemented an intentionally awful way to comply just to spite the politicians, or that they're overthinking the law, but there's still a direct relation between the update of the directive and the change in YouTube's policies.
You're taking about long-term effects, which are true. But that meat waiting to be distributed is already there. If the deliveries disappear for a few days/weeks, you don't suddenly get extra plants to distribute in that timeframe.
I think an awful lot of the user-space utilities were VESTed, I'm thinking about EDT and TPU and who knows what else?

This might be the ancient ancestor of the technology that Apple uses to run x86 binaries on their M1 ARM-based chips.
I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. I find my MacBook trackpad to be a fast and precise method of placing the cursor at an arbitrary location within a text buffer. Outside of certain special cases it is faster for this purpose than fiddling around with keyboard shortcuts. There should not be any significant mental overhead associated with using a pointer device if you are sufficiently practiced at it.

If trackpads don’t work well for you then don’t use them. I believe you, and have no interest in proving that your favored working methods are suboptimal. However, having tried the ‘keyboard first’ approach, I know that it is less efficient for me.

I do tire of the ritual haranguing of anyone who notes that they find the use of pointer devices an aid to their working efficiency.
I used to be a big fan of Robin's but he does this thing that a lot of these creative technology people do where they pass off exclusive access as somehow creative insight. In fact he even explicitly notes that a recent project he did where he had e-book reader stats was something that he had to keep private where he got it from.

Why? And then why make a project that really wasn't very creative at all, with a data set that is very proprietary, and may not have the full consent of those that participated?

So yeah, he's done some brilliant things I'm sure, and I've seen some even, but this disingenuous use of position is something that's turned me off to a lot of the established people like this.
If US defense spending was a countrys GDP it would be number 18.

The US spends over half the GDP of the entire country of Australia on defense.

I think I agree, but I’m not sure how that fits into the conversation. The OP was marveling at people who don’t drink heavily (and attributed their casual drinking to puritanism), not those who abstained altogether. People who abstain altogether in my experience are either religious, recovering alcoholics, or people who have been close enough to alcoholism to keep a wide birth. In my experience the latter camp is significantly bigger than the others, but that could be unrepresentative for any number of reasons (e.g., I don’t happen to hang out with many devout Muslims).
All of engineering is determining what could exist independently of anybody having seen it before or not. If your statement were true, we would live in a very boring world.

But anyway, speculation based on probabilities over distributions that we don't know is useless. We can only speculate based on knowledge we have.
Agreed, but solutions to that also exist. In my opinion, it's solving for shelter, hygiene, and water, in a safe and scaleable way. This provides reliable temporary solution for people, to then get their options sorted out, and eventually I think people would try and get out of that themselves, with exception of the ones that really need personalized assistance.
That's not ideal, but doesn't cancel the health and climate benefits of eating vegetarian.
That was the surprise for me after school as well. I wondered how schools could function on their seeming ambivalence to so many things.

Then I found that was just the whole world.
Article should have a "2019" tag.
Nobody at my current company turns on their camera.

What kind of company do you work at that you are not able to do development on your local machine? Wow.

Too short a commute? What a strange flex.
At least the bulls generally succeed in not breaking any porcelain.

These "marketers", "ad-tech" companies, and tech giants could not possibly GAF less about the consequences for anyone else as long as they get their money.

It is more like "See no evil" than "don't be evil".

That's just a matter of finding a vulnerable ally county to hop through. That's SOP now to hide your tracks. It's not like current attacks from Iran to the US have Irani addresses in the IP header.
OAuth2 or OIDC
You'll get a fine or a short jail stay in the US if you defy the mask orders/social distancing orders.

You might just get a bullet in China for defying those orders.
not sure about worse.
enabling evil-ex-visual-char-range allows you to do things ex commands in (neo)vim cannot do.
That is, run things like !rev on a visual select. in (neo)vim this reverses the whole line where with (evil-ex-visual-char-range t) enabled in evil does what I'd argue is expected, only reversing the string selected in visual mode.
I appreciate the honest and analytical comparison here. The self-employed vs. employed discussions are usually biased in favor of being self-employed for the usual reasons (“freedom”, “be your own boss”, etc.) However I’ve come to find that being employed full-time can be seriously underrated since people might have not experienced a good full-time position which provides many of those perks with the added stability of a regular paycheck and corporate infrastructure. Additionally, being self-employed can be extremely stressful with additional responsibilities as outlined by this very blog! E.g. Needing to know more about taxes, finances, finding clients, etc.
Part age and part friends. As people get older many stop or cut back their drinking. Responsibilities means there's no time. Real friends support you if not drinking is something you want to do.

It also doesn't have to be a binary thing. I go months without drinking and then have a beer or wine because I want one.
Unity uses quaternions in the rotation but the actual animation curves are still interpolating Euler angles. Same with Unreal, Maya, 3DSMax, Blender etc... GLTF requires you to convert the animation curves to quaternions. That's a lossy operation
At least you had a job that allowed you to WFH. Imagine being in the restaurant biz where you were just shut down...
Do you have an estimated salary range?
So many responses here are focused on just the acts of these people building the village. They're making a sane choice in an insane environment and there are selfless elements in their build.

Technically it's illegal, certainly. But the "insane environment" needs more attention and things like this wouldn't get built.
This is all wild speculation on our part, as AFAIK, there hasn't been any direct attacks between two nations that have nuclear bombs except some skirmishes here or there (and being able to do that doesn't warrant an extra $24B spending). At most, war by satellite (USA supports country A, Russia supports country B, and A and B bomb each other). Maybe I'm being unimaginative, but I can't see how direct attacks between China and US wouldn't escalate to a nuclear war, even just due to egos.
In my state the police have started ticketing people for all the things that expired due to covid so they clearly dont need our help to find way to re-fund themselves after being defunded for deplorable standard operating procedures.
The issue is whether it’s worth spending that bundle size on an obsolete browser. If not, it could be reasonable to do some naive formatting on IE11 and show a message mentioning that the browser is unsupported and things may render incorrectly.
That is for HTTP auth.
Thanks! While that is a very small study, it seems pretty convincing.
HN should stop linking to clickbait from vice.com. I read the article, and it seems like stuff in the pamphlet is basic stuff you would tell any employee who has a strenuous manual labor job. I just don't see pay-rates going anywhere but down. Maybe they could get re-trained as repair/maintenance techs by Amazon if they get replaced with robots.
Dokku has a lot of overhead to run.
I haven't read that it affects insulin response. But I have heard that it can cause you to crave more calories because it gives you the perception of consuming something but without the calories. I'm not sure what the mechanism is here or if maybe it is just psychological.
Give quality sparkling water a go if you can, eg San Pellegrino, Castello, Harrogate (glass only), etc.
Implementing Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the U.S. Dept. Of Defense [pdf]
I've been WFH for 20 years (by the end of this year).

I've considered moving for a lower cost of living or living the "nomad" life, but I honestly prefer big crazy cities with tons of people and endless possibilities every day.

And so I've lived in big cities the whole time and have loved every minute of it. I pay more, and I charge more, and generally try to make sure my clients aren't local so they don't suddenly get the crazy idea that I should pop into the office. But, even when they are local, I keep office visits to a minimum (once per month or less).

It's been pretty great to see so many start to see the delights of working from home. It get that it's not for everyone. I'm positive it's for a lot of us.
Well, for what it's worth the US is already 'getting its ass handed to it’ in real modern warfare.

The US has been playing defense with the misinformation campaigns and fake narratives created by adversary totalitarian states that salivate over the idea of dethroning the US from its implicit world leader status.

Sometimes it really feels like we are doing exactly what they want. To create a self-inflicted societal fracture and to blame it on America's favorite scape goat, Big Tech. Like if that was our real problem.
The very same thing that is giving the US an edge right now (technology) is the very same thing that gets attacked by right and left politicians alike. How convenient for Russia and China, isn't it?
Though I would say, that you shouldn't just quit. You should take your concerns to your manager and give them a chance to fix it. Sometimes they can.

I started a job last November, and after about 3 months I was ready to quit. I spoke with my manager and he said he would help fix the problems. He hasn't been able to fix everything, but he was able to fix my biggest annoyances. For the things he could not fix, he is helping me mitigate the issues.

Though if your management is not willing to help you fix the issues then it is time to move on. I've had that happen before too.
Yes, that's what the article is about.

China would launch their own defensive missiles, as well as offensive missiles at aircraft carriers in the South China Sea and nearby US landing strips. This is exactly the wargames that they are discussing that the US continually loses at because they can't defend their base infrastructure in those areas.
The problem is that cryptocurrency is terrible money because it's hyperdeflationary, or at least the most popular coins are. Bitcoin is far more deflationary than gold since with gold you can't lose your key and render your gold non-existent. We don't even know how much Bitcoin has been lost to "breakage."

The insanely deflationary nature of these currencies makes them prone to wild swings in value, which is not something you want in money. It also attracts a lot of Ponzi schemers and get rich quick types.
I believe the Iron Dome was funded by the US, i agree the situation is different. The US is also positioned very far away from any country that would lob rockets at us.
Spark's initial path to success was "a faster way to process your data in HDFS". Cloudera was selling users Spark before DataBricks was even founded. The idea was that Hadoop was an ecosystem of tools for processing data built on commodity storage and compute hardware, for when your data was too big and expensive to transfer to the cloud.

Over time it became increasingly popular to use cloud storage instead of running HDFS. This really destroyed Cloudera's moat, because there was no operational overhead to putting your data in S3 or GCS. You just needed to run some stateless compute, and if you fucked up it didn't matter. Nowadays your "data lake" is a bunch of files in commodity storage someone else runs.
While that would be awesome, these foreign intelligences might have too little in common with our wiring to communicate in any way.

Also, we’ve been shaped by our tools since day one, and these animals use little or no tools.
Nice comment. I also want to emphasize that your point about regional variance is true in Europe as well, this without even mentioning several well known European drinker stereotypes.
This seems like an amazing company
I mean, yes, if you explicitly tell two websites who you are then they can agree on who you are. But that's very rare, no? What fraction of sites are you logging into?
This isn't 1850.

No one cares about your women. Less so as a military objective. If they shoot, they'll shoot everyone and the dog. If they don't, thank a war treaty.
I am wondering, what if somehow, hypothetically speaking, GPL 4.0 is the same as MIT or BSD.

Does it mean it could "upgrade" to GPL 4.0 as well?
Small government means not making laws which otherwise interfere in the citizens' ability to make their own choices about how to live. It doesn't have anything to do with the size of the military, whose missions are mostly abroad to protect trade routes anyway.
Two of my favourite TED Talks are Barry Schwartz and the Paradox of Choice, where he says "in the past, you went to the store and there was one jar of peanut butter or one pair of jeans, and you bought them. If they weren't good, well, you had no choice. You demand choice. Now you go to the store and there's 30 jars of peanut butter or pairs of jeans - chunky, smooth, sweet, plain, large, small, organic, popular brand, niche brand, imported brand, etc. Now whatever you choose, you will have doubts, and if it isn't good, well there were so many choices it must be your fault, so you feel bad".

And Dan Gilbert on Happiness, demonstrating with studies that no, you are not happier with more choice, you are objectively, measurably, unquestionably, happier with no choice. 10,000 films that you can stop watching and change for another as soon as you are unhappy -> unhappiness. 1 film you have to watch all the way through and have no other -> you'll grow to like it. You become happier with things you're stuck with, and that even applies to people who are disabled, missed out on fortunes, got imprisoned for crimes they did commit, and for crimes they didn't commit, as well as for everyday people who bought something they can't return vs something they can return.

Via PJ Eby, you care about what you care for. People have it the other way round - "I'm not maintaining my car, but if I had a Lambo then I would care about my car". Noooo, if you start cleaning and maintaining your car, then you will care about your car because you're investing time and effort into it.

I think you’re incorrect about a few things.

First, tolerance to substances is more physiological than simply learning to hide it.

Second, consider one drink an hour ten eight hours. You’d barely be inebriated. It wouldn’t be particularly drastic.

China faces a huge logistical challenge if it wants to rely on Africa for food and ore. Sending cargo ships from South West Africa to East Asia is a long and perilous journey.

Africa itself is an unstable part of the world, the people are not friendly to China, and the population is growing rapidly. Its easy to see the local population turning on Chinese citizens or businesses in the event of some economic or food shortfall.

By contrast the USA basically has all of the resources it needs inside its own country or nearby allies. Many of the 'rare' resources of the world are not particularly rare, they are just too expensive or too environmentally damaging to mine in the West at current prices.

I'm surprised that China doesn't just offer to buy whole sections of Africa, and formally annex the land into its country, and move (voluntarily) the existing African populations as part of the payment terms. For example, the GDP of Mozambique is $16b - China has 200x this value just in USD reserves.
I really hope Apple can control themselves with these CPUs. The M1 has the perfect thermal envelope for the Macbook Pro. No thermal throttling ever. I greatly fear the future were Apple starts going down Intels path were you buy a sick CPU on paper. But once you actually try to do anything with it it throttles itself into the ground.
lots of hand-waving and conclusions pulled out of thin air :(
There's a bit of a rebound effect. Alcohol can decrease anxiety while drunk, while increasing baseline sober anxiety.

This is, of course, in the absence of other factors that may influence an individual's anxiety
> it comes from this belief that if you just require things, they'll magically happen

We should be somewhat sympathetic that non-experts may not know the difference between a possible and an impossible technical goal, and we have to accept that for a politician there isn't much electoral advantage to be gained from trying to explain the difference to their voters.

However, each time I hear an impossible goal proposed, I can't help imagining the politician saying "We managed to land people on the Moon and return them safely, so surely we can do the same with the Sun now."
When I was in the office, the only acceptable reasons to be away from your desk were:

1. Bathroom break. Better not take too many or it'll be noticed.

2. Coffee/smoke break outside. Not much scrutiny of this, but I do neither.

3. Exercise break where people walk around the campus for a bit. Not too fun to do in the middle of either a hot or ice-cold midwestern day.

Anything else was viewed with a jaundiced eye.
> Not only that, this isn't even a text editor, it is a front end for neovim.

Why do you believe this is a front-end for neovim and not a text editor?
Their exception for Disney sounds like a parody.
> Technically X is not Y, but only isomorphic to it

Not sure this is a useful argument. If two structures are isomorphic, there is no way to tell them apart. If you can't tell them apart - maybe they are the same thing.

It's not exactly the same taste as beer but they satisfy my cravings. They've completely replaced the occasional beer I have with dinner in the evening, and if I drink socially I often alternate between them and “real beer” so that I don't pay for it the next day.
The irony of the age verification is that almost all age restricted videos on youtube are things I want to watch when logged out of my account.
>Are you suggesting hunting enemies in countries like Russia/China is going to go down well?

Anything has risk of course, any hunting need be covert and expertly done.

>How would you feel if they decided to declare some enemies on US soil and start hunting them on your patch?

I would assume they already did that.
