My team handles all code, documentation and release through Github.

I was asked (more like forced to) have someone in my team copying zips of our releases and converting all code documentation into google doc files (with company logo, proper format,…). All of this code and documentation is for internal use only.

No one has ever read any of those documents, since the only people that would use it are in my team, who obviously prefer not having to fill a whole page of useless fluff just to save a useful command or a quick note about the method they just wrote.

There’s a LOT of BS in jobs, even in tech.

>Becoming wealthy is all about making more money than you spend and investing the rest.

For obvious reasons, if you do not invest your money yourself, that money is being lent out by your bank who invests it on your behalf and that bank then lends it to companies who invest it on the bank's behalf.

When companies stop being borrowers and interest rates drop there is no demand for your savings and you shouldn't let your money sit in a bank account.
I cant stop wondering the why its such a massive undertaking and we have plenty of land just expand on the other side i cant stop feeling that this is a prestige project with very little gain.

"Leftists have been very clear that they want the police abolished. "

No, most aren't crazy enough to think that abolishing the police is better than what we have.

Instead, they ask to "defund" the police, and then redefine "defund" to mean that many of their daily services should be given to others more qualified for peaceful resolutions, without carrying weapons, and police should be available for backup of those situations.

I personally remain unconvinced, and I think we'd see a lot of the people doing those services injured because they went into dangerous situations without adequate protection. But I can't deny that the police have shown a lot of poor judgement over the years, so something needs to change.

>Or when I’m hiring a programmer. I want the best programmer and don’t want to even out all the candidates based when some are worse but have good reasons why.

This only works because there are more suitable candidates than you want to hire. If you only need to fill one position but there are 10 good candidates out of 1000 applicants you want to pick the cherry.

If the position inverses and you have 10 positions to fill but only 5 candidates you are going to get all 5 even if the 5th is terrible but can do the job.
It's quite common to upsample to 444 for processing, but using 420 for storage.
Would a link from someone who doesn't want the police abolished persuade you, or have you already decided those people on the left do not count?
I agree with jcranmer and astrange!

It is not possible, in June
2021, to build a compiler that can schedule general workloads as
well as an out-of-order scheduler can at run-time in a modern CPU.
Note that the scheduling we are talking about is mostly to do with
data location in order to hide the latencies of data-movement: In order to hide data movement latencies, you need to know if needed data is in L1, L2, L3, or main memory. In general workloads this is very much data
dependent. How is a static, or even JIT, compiler supposed to know
with enough precision where data is located at run-time?
An additional problem is that compiler scheduling needs bits for
encoding scheduling information, which does not come for free:
those bits cannot be used for other purposes (e.g. larger immediate arguments).
For more specific workloads where data movement is more predictable,
i.e. not itself data-dependent, the situation is different, whence the
rise of GPUs, TPUs, signal processing cores etc.

Spectre and Meltdown are orthogonal. They come from speculation,
e.g. branch prediction. Compile-time branch prediction is similarly
infeasible for general workloads.
So we are in full agreement, then.

Would you also think of it as a good initiative if the US government demanded the change?

I don't know. To me it sounds a bit like "you can only be in the AppStore if your app meets these requirements".

If Google was pure in its reasoning, they would allow slow pages to still be listed high in search results for people who don't care about page load times.
Something like 80%+ of Americans support LGBT rights and people who identify as religious (in general) is rapidly dropping.

Your religious right may have been a real national force in 1980, but not now. It’s just a boogie man.
> So why can’t banks provide higher yields with simple savings accounts? If it’s got nothing to do with federal fund rates or middle men?

Because banks are regulated (to avoid systemic risks), so they need to balance deposits with risk free loans (or discounting the riskier loans with extra capital).

> Defi will sweep away the banking market on the long run if central banks keep doing their lax monetary policy for much longer.

By definition if they provide higher yields, this should be because they are riskier. (It might be a non-obvious risk, e.g. liquidity risk due to lack of lender of last resort).

I suppose it depends on the material. Textbooks for intro-level general courses (e.g. calculus, physics, statistics, etc.) tend to get republished yearly.

Since the fundamentals of the material are unlikely to change within the span of a year, the revisions to the textbooks are mostly cosmetic in nature—updated graphic design, rearranged problem sets (to deter the used book market), etc.

Also note: I'm speaking about the US. Things could very well be different elsewhere.

Religion does provide a convenient framework and community around those values, you could also call it enforcement, depending on how strict a given religion is.

As with any ideology, there are of course those who wish to exploit it to their own ends, which is where we get the atrocities that have happened through human history.
Getting to play again after being shot in the face is not realistic either, yet pretty much all FPS games implement this feature. I wonder why?
It's all highly leveraged on all sides, margin calls will amplify things if things start crashing (which will then risk not covering the initial investment, trigger a run, and amplify further).
Im actually surprised how good YT comes out in this. The page is a dumpster fire:

Before Polymer (current YT framework) YT video page weighted somewhere around 50KB (10KB compressed) and was ordinary HTML + 1MB js player (400KB compressed). As soon as HTML part loaded the page was all there.

Now its 600KB (100KB compressed) JSON + additional 8MB desktop_polymer.js (1MB compressed) that needs to be compiled/interpreted before it even starts building the page client side and anything starts showing up. 1MB js player is on top of that.
These kind of numbers are not intuitive. Don't forget that you are working in volume of material. Making something only 1m high across 1 sq mile is around 2.5 million cubic metres.

It confims existing beliefs so it doesn't really get scrutinized.
> So why can’t banks provide higher yields with simple savings accounts?

Because yield is the price that borrowers pay for borrowing funds. When there are a lot of funds available for borrowing and not many people wanting to borrow yields will fall. There is just nothing central banks or commercial banks can do to raise yields if there is little demand for loans.
Inline code completion/IDE integration can have it show the parameter names or docstring inline in the editor. That helps me with map, specifically. :)

With that configured, a window pops up in Vim and says we have:

map(func: Callable[[_T1], _S], iter1: Iterable[_T1], /) -> Iterator[_S]
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
map(func, *iterables) --> map object

Make an iterator that computes the function using arguments from
each of the iterables. Stops when the shortest iterable is exhausted.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

There are things to criticize here. Note that the type hinting (this is Python 3.8 btw) doesn't agree with the full generality of the stated function interface (the multiple iterables part).
Some people get it into their heads that just because their code works right now that it is somehow "done" and will never need maintenance, so they don't budget for any maintenance work or knowledge upkeep. Then when the world inevitably changes around the program, some of the initial assumptions are no longer valid and (possibly extensive) changes are required but no resources available to enact them. The only cheap solution available is to complain about the changes in the world and try to get them rolled back.
I side with the Atheist in this regard. I used to do the agnostic thing, then I realized, agnosticism seems to exist almost exclusively for religion. We don't bother with that in any other context.

Everything regarding the real world is 'almost surely'. I 'almost surely' have a job, a house, a brother and two cats. Any of those might be falsified at any time, but it's a pointless waste of time to faff about it and pedantically make it explicit how I'm pretty sure I'm still employed, but I can't exclude the possibility that maybe I'm not anymore.
I largely agree. It's certainly harder to game a three+ party system into whatever the heck has happened in the US in the past 40 years.

> In the particular case of Scaleway, the largest shareholder is very active in French politics (to the point of buying a major news outlet), and a vocal supporter of the side that, in the last four years alone, caused months of riots (only stopped by Covid-19), organised militia against its fellow citizens, gave presidential interviews to magazines equating black people to slaves, and didn’t immediately and strongly object to threats of a military coup “in memory” of colonisation in Algeria.

Wow... that's... an extremely partisan description of Emmanuel Macron, to say the least. In particular, there's a lot to dislike about how Macron and the government handled the Benalla scandal, but saying they "organized a militia against its fellow citizens" is about as honest as saying "the US government is running extermination camps" because it detains immigrants.

Otherwise, the takeaway from that section seems to be "Scaleway is out of bounds because its largest owner is a supporter of the President of the Republic"? I'm sorry, but what?

What's next, you're not allowed to connect to a Pijul database if your ISP is Free, because Free is also owned by Xavier Niel? You're not allowed to contribute to the code if you were taught at the 42 School? (yes, I'm caricaturing, but still)

I'm not completely against politicization of tech; I get not wanting to build AI that ends up being used for militant policing, for instance; in this case, I get not wanting ties with Dassault to avoid getting tangled with the arms industry. But advertising "we won't work with this company because a shareholder is a support of the president and the president went on French Fox News once" is the kind of ultra-divisive, "we will separate the world into good guys and bad guys and erect an impassable wall between the two" mentality I just can't get behind.
But it’s the thin end of the wedge. No doubt we will evolve towards blanket tracing of anyone who accesses news stories on a particular topic, creating grounds to investigate or detain people on grounds of “domestic terrorism” or whatever.
"Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself."
You've missed something else, equity is impossible. No matter how good life gets someone is always worse off in some way. If you could level everyone economically you'd still be uneven. Some are athletically gifted, some are beautiful, some are charismatic and others have none of these things.

>There is no inheritance tax. This tax would provide equal opportunities for students to start afresh in a meritocratic society. Instead they are getting a huge headstart.

Are you going to tax my parents away from me? They gave me 18 years of care. You'd have to tax those 18 years for things to be truly fair.

I don't believe in inheritance taxes because someone has to own all the stuff a person with low wealth enjoys. The government builds streets that are worth millions but even the poorest of society benefit from the wealth inequality of state and citizen. There are similar situations where wealth inequality benefits the poor and rich alike but things have been rigged so that these situations are rare or non existent.

I do believe in a cap on the maximum amount a single person can inherit in their life. We don't want to take wealth away, we want it to spread. Everyone is born poor. People only become wealthy during their life. Some get wealthy earlier than others but that is not the problem. It's the quantity of wealthy people that is important. If everyone could be wealthy a day after they were born that would be fantastic.
Nice book.

However I disagree that cryptocurrency is untraceable.

In fact there is a public ledger!

And law enforcement can connect dots if they subpoena exchanges or even take down exchanges entirely.

Or they can do the normal cop thing and get someone you are dealing with to cooperate and link their address to yours.

Monero claims to be private and truly anonymous but I don’t know the technical details, many say it is.
> They gave him one without checking anything. His response? “America has the best vaccine program on the planet. They have so many rules in Zurich that the confusion is holding things back. They’d rather throw away vaccines than break minor rules”.

I live in Zurich, the vaccination program is crystal clear. If there are free slots, you can book an appointment. Up to recently, if you were not in a priority group (which are well-defined), you couldn't book. Now it's open to everyone. I haven't heard of vaccines thrown away.

I don't know what your friend found confusing in Zurich, or how he somehow concluded that flying long-distance during the pandemic to get a shot in CA is worth it.

On the other hand, it means that Google has stopped caring about UI performance. Of course, anyone who’s used Google Groups lately could tell you that.
I am not surprised this comment was buried to avoid scrutiny. Technocracy censorship is common these days
I can't see how it's a "sneak an plug" here. It's just a constatation of how easily exploitable the flaw is, using common tools like cURL.

If an insecure website can be hacked using only dev tools in the browser, does anyone blame browser vendor?
For the sake of that person's sanity, I hope they were able to automate the generation of these write-only files from the actual documentation on GitHub.
I feel like there should be additional constraints. For example a page that looks so simple like the google search page should have a limit on how much code it needs to get there. Basically a bloat alarm, lighting up in red, once bloat is detected. And it would be redder than red for Google itself and things like YouTube.
I think you weren't paying attention? Both were always known as extremists.

Steve Jobs was a raging asshole, until it caught up with him. Turns out you can't bully cancer into submission.

Gates was involved in some seriously shady stuff and under his rule, Microsoft ruined a whole lot of companies, some of which thought they had a profitable agreement. And not by some sort of honest competition, but some very underhanded tactics.

Gates seems to have a much better reputation as of late, but he used to have a Borg style icon on slashdot for a reason. Lots of people didn't like him at all back when he was running the show.
It seems like this is the case. There is a link to a more informative article in the Reddit post that has a spokesperson from google who says that if you’re the most relevant, you’re going to still be ranked well.

I mean, we already do all that.

But I don't personally think it is the thin end of a wedge. There is a big difference between asking for everyone accessing the story and a limited 35min window. As big as asking to search one house vs a whole street. It gers messy where exactly the line is, but that's why we have judges...
While those things are bad, I think we can agree that there is a difference between global thermonuclear warfare and police brutality and hate crimes. At the very least, GTNW is a literal existential threat for every person, while brutality and hate have been pretty normal in human history and liberalism is the antidote (indeed, the rich American liberal tradition is what makes hate and brutality seem so shocking)—giving up liberalism in the name of combatting hate is inappropriate, and IMO very likely the thing which drives up hate crimes in the first place (left wing behavior pushes many people to the right and sets up illiberal precedents for them to follow).
Nothing about the article implies cURL is responsible for the exploit, only that it can be used to leverage the exploit. It's relevant and good to know, and shouldn't be removed IMO.
> The article takes it for granted that having thousands of combinations is inherently unmanageable [...]

Well, yes, it is unmanageable FOR A BEVERAGE. It's ridiculous what some people are asking for (even when you ignore the deliberately farcical tik-tok complicated order fad).

I think there's a point at which it becomes wise to say "no" to the customer. Not just because fulfilling the order becomes intractable, but ALSO because it's a matter of good taste and maintaining a classy image (admittedly that ship has long ago sailed away for Starbucks).
> Idk how many others share this opinion, but I consider even intelligence to be luck. So if you're giving the more intelligent people better jobs / living conditions it's still unfair.

Why is it unfair? If the capable people can pull themselves ahead they can pull the rest along with them. The opposite is impossible. Of course, I am assuming a functioning economic system with reasonable inflation and interest rates. We don't have that luxury.
If you think about it, this kind of culture actually hurts minorities because an employer will think twice about hiring them in the first place.

Why hire a black, hispanic, or LGBT person, if you have no ability to fire them without being labeled, canceled, or sued. Safer to just hire the white straight guy.
Seems there's a lot of resistance to bitcoin because they're afraid of it truly revamping the broken financial system.
I think they make mistakes, and as with your example, those mistakes tend to get fixed. Net negative jobs are the exception, not the rule, and completely useless jobs are the vast exception.
It is true that we currently cannot hide the microarchitectural effects of unsuccessful speculation, as exposed by transient execution attacks like Spectre and cousins.

So what?

Most workloads / customers are much more about performance than security. We can trivially remove such attacks by switching off all speculation (branch prediction, caches, OOO, prefetching). Indeed you can buy CPUs like that, and they are used in environments where safety is of extreme importance. The cost of this is an orders-of-magnitude loss of performance
Most workloads (e.g. Netflix streaming, Snapchat filters, online advertising, protein folding, computer games, Instagram, chat apps) are simply not security sensitive enough to care.

Building a competitive general purposes CPU costs a lot (probably > $1Billion end-to-end), and who would buy a CPU that is safe against Spectre but 3 orders of magnitude slower than the competition? (Not to mention that there are many more dangerous vulnerabulities, from Rowhammer to Intel' Management Engine, to rubber hose ...)

I don't "identify" as "cis". I think of myself as normal, pretty much like everyone else. But when I need a word to describe myself as "not trans"... There isn't one, until "cis" came along.

So yes, I'm "cis". I don't like the word, and I probably would not have managed to come up with it on my own. But "straight" doesn't describe the situation and "not trans" is inherently negative, where no negativity is desired.

I'll fully agree that I don't follow a lot of the stereotypes for my gender, but there are a lot I do follow, too. Nobody is 100% stereotypical. And Cis- and trans-gender isn't even about that. It's about how you feel and who you feel you are, not about following stereotypes.

I feel like I should point out that this claim comes from an autobiographical book that has never been corroborated by any other source. When the claim involves "the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space," the lack of other sources is especially suspicious.

I personally find the claim that the Soviets were using SCADA control systems in 1982 somewhat suspicious as well.
