My daughter has also homeschooled, but by now there are lots of part-time options. She goes to school once a week, gets assigned a lot of homework, and works on that the rest of the week. It gives her some socialization, and also practice at time management (not leaving everything until the last day).

I think homeschooling is a lot easier than it was 20 years ago, in regards getting enough opportunities for socialization. Pandemics, now, they still are an obstacle...

This article contains a lot of speculation, but none of it contradicts the evidence that sperm counts have dropped.

I makes the argument that that might not reduce fertility as much as other scientists assume, and so we don't really know if there's an actual crisis happening.
I consider myself a novice but competent python programmer (not particularly skilled or expert) and everytime i have to use something made in python i cringe because i know it will require 30 minutes of futzing with things to even run it.

Python’s ecosystem is the worst for get-up-and-go usage.

Nvm or nodenv make managing node environments trivial compared to virtualenv, pip, and co. Same with rustup or rbenv… in fact python is the only language i have the problem with.
And edge case is just that though? Something that hadn't been thought of, and makes stuff break, then you can figure out a fix.

I don't know any dev that would agree with "passing them off as rare to avoid dealing with them" - rather, "it's a low priority, but it needs fixing" or "ok, this is an edge case, but holy crap its a bad one"
The music app is embarrassingly bad considering they had a functional Google Play Music app that they stopped producing and replaced with Youtube Music.

Don't they look at their past work and notes at least? It's shameful how bad Youtube Music is. Just the fact that there's a pause between tracks, I mean come on... I know there's an extensive list on some subreddit of all the issues with the youtube music app.

Absolute Elo ratings have no meaning. The system is set up so that differences between Elo ratings are predictive of the outcome of a game. There's nothing anchoring the overall scale, though, and you can add in an arbitrary constant to every player's Elo without changing any of the predictions about who will win a given game.
> Someone using Perl for scientific computing makes it harder for others to collaborate on the project

Just to the other people that never have the ambition, desire or toke the time to develop new valuable skills. This is not a bad thing necessarily. Those people are time sinks.

In any case you can take the decision to document or not your code in any language. "; # this line does that" is not hard to write.

And different science teams collaborate, but also compete for money. So everybody doing the same can lead to "the more dishonest takes all" and kills all the other teams. Sometimes is useful to protect yourself from the people trying to backstab you and steal your best tools. Tools that toke you decades to develop and polish. Not ALL is freely shared in science.

And yes, my Perl scripts were a triple headache to write, but still work flawlessly after all this years.

Perl is just a tool to do something, and you should never use one (and the same) tool for everything unless your goal is to be a mediocre scientist sucking from other people's efforts all the time.

FWIW I wouldn't regard SMS as a good 2nd authentication factor either, for the same reasons as this issue, it's too easy to get a carrier to transfer a number to an attacker.

Where it's used as a second factor, this still has an impact which is, if an attacker can get the password (and there's been enough breaches and keystroke logging for that to be common) they can then grab the number to get full control of the account.

TOTP or hardware tokens don't generally suffer from the same problem.
I know plenty of writers who are fond of Scrivener. My personal choice for a paid product (as I use a Mac) is Ulysses — going back and forth between the Mac & iOS versions is painless, and its bare-bones, grouped-file interface fits right with my workflow. Export options are plentiful, and it pairs well with Pandoc. Both are good.

For their objectives, that was undoubtedly a good return on investment. Even ignoring the ROI, the absolute cost seems quite reasonable given the feature set and target market. Someone picked a good CHS or did a good job with avoiding scope creep.

While I applaud them for their understanding and use of technology, it is a strange feeling to see the FBI start to think like the NSA. Given the positive PR of this approach+result other teams will most assuredly try to replicate it
I don't think I've moved goalposts -- maybe just failed to articulate my concern precisely. (And only skimmed the article you linked.)

If the government purchases real estate with its own money and later sells it--fine by me. They have business to take care of and need places to do it.

What bothers me specifically would be a growing federal or state government stake in assets owned by others by virtue of a tax law that grants them such ownership.

I imagine whole swaths of businesses, apartments, and other buildings in cities across the US that are >50% owned by the government 40 years from now.

It would push us a lot closer to a world where people don't own anything anymore besides their own houses (maybe not even that) and the government owns everything.

That was my reaction as well, though I still don't like it.

That is, I don't like that GDPR-like laws can extend to actually blocking services. But they already do. I'd prefer that they just force "disclosure", like "Yes, I understand my email won't be stored in my home country".
Not quite true, they also say that counting sperm is difficult and the methods were slowly refined. So early studies might suffer from systematic error.

Maybe a job for this company that was posted on HN which has an app for counting stuff.
The code generation is pretty darn good: https://i.imgur.com/tj3LEzG.png

Here's the full output. Everything up to the first `def ` (line 26) was the prompt. The rest is GPT-J with temperature 0.7 top_p 1.0: https://gist.github.com/shawwn/e93f8af123914a9a1c72812b0a7c4...

It seemed to recognize `from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS`, wrote a function to fetch a url, then used that function to parse HTML using the `BS` variable:

def get_links(website):
webpage = BS(get_website(website))
soup = BS(website)
links = []

for link in soup.select(".row a"):
href = re.search(
r"class=\"gwt-Label\" href=\"(.*)\"",
link.get("href"),
)
if href:
link.get("href")
links.append(href.group(1))

return links

def get_title(link):
title = link.get(
"title",
"",
attrs={
"class": "gwt-Label",
},
)
return title

It didn't get it quite right, but boy was it close.

If you tried generating code but didn't get good results, be sure to set top_p 1.0 temp ~0.8. It matters quite a lot.
I needed a distraction in the Summer of 2020. So, I decided to re-build the MLOps tool that I helped develop for my previous employer - with all the benefits of hindsight factored-in.

Bodywork enables ML engineers to deploy batch jobs and services to Kuberentes, without them needing to know anything about containerisation, Kuberentes and DevOps. Its main aim in life, is to remove the need to build, push and deploy custom Docker images to Kubernetes. Instead, Bodywork configures your cluster to use pre-built Docker images (that we maintain on Docker Hub), that will pull your project’s codebase direct from its remote Git repository (e.g. GitHub), and run it.

All Bodywork users need to do, is develop the executable Python modules that define what each batch job or service needs to do. Then, they add a single config file that describes how to deploy the project, and let Bodywork take care of rolling it out.

Although it was developed with ML pipelines in-mind, Bodywork is capable of deploying almost any executable Python module, as either a job with a well-defined end, or as a service with no scheduled end (a long-running process). It’s basically a Python wrapper around Kubernetes primitives and we’re hoping that it could also find a place in the scientific Python and quantitative finance communities.

Remote updating doesn't provide apparent power measurement, a power measurement chip does - this does require an upgraded meter, yes, but does not necessitate a smart one, although the economics of upgrading a fleet of meters probably dictates that they be smart meters for other reasons.

The advantage to memorizing a textbook is you can learn without it. So if you can memorize quickly but learn much more slowly you can use time that's otherwise lost (like the two hours of mandatory daily driving in the US) for learning.
As much as that's not ideal, if the proxy is actually using HTTPS and verifying the upstream certificate then I don't think it breaks the user's security expectations too badly. But CloudFlare also offer a mode where they will serve HTTPS to the user but connect to your upstream via unencrypted HTTP over the public internet, which I think is just shockingly awful compared to what a user expects a site that uses HTTPS to do.
He's very smart and has interesting ideas and has made a successful career. It's possible to point out someone's quirks while still admiring them.
Well, if the linker is very dumb, and just wholesale includes everything in an object file if there's any reference to it, the optimizing compiler can try and work around that by producing itty bitty object files, one for every symbol.

Linkers have more scope for smartness. The size of a block of code can be quite sensitive to the addressing mode (near vs far for e.g. 16-bit x86, relative offsets of various widths vs absolute etc.) used for each reference. An intelligent linker can adjust the code depending on where the target ends up, altering the addressing mode. The scope for optimization here depends on the ordering in the final executable, density of references and so on.
Not only is it not secure, it's not a constant for everyone.

I moved countries and I am now locked out of my bank account abroad since they verify logins via OTP over SMS.
That's indeed a problem there. I was there for a walk on a cold and windy day. After walking for a while, we wanted to go back, and it turned out horrible, because back was against the wind, and there is nowhere to hide from the wind. Sure, you will not leave civilisation here, but trees would help.

They probably don't plant any because when they finally do decide to build a new residential quarter, they'd also have to fight against tree savers. And probably there's a regulation that for each tree you fell, you need to plant a new one. So better not plant too many trees without good reason...
Lordstown Motors warns its electric vehicle business may fail
No, it was not. That's a popular myth, but it's wrong. There were other browser with Tabs before opera event tried them. And Operas first attempts wasn't really Tabs in the modern sense. It was just a poor working button-bar for an MDI, which was a bit cumbersome to use. They fixed it two versions later, around the time when the feature gained attention in other browsers and even Mozilla Suit got it's first Extension that became so insanly popular that it was build into Phoenix (later renamend to Firebird, then Firefox) out of the box.

Though, Opera tried many things in that area. There never really lost the MDI-Spirit and went with different approached than most other TDI-Implementations. Made it more useful for some, more complicated for others. So for certain specific functions they probablly were the first ones.
I don't really like it either but calling it a 'bail out' is just nonsense. Its not like BO is going bankrupt.

> Is it necessary to refer to "a customer" at all in this statement?

That’s how autopsies work. You describe the cause and resolution. The cause was a bug in the customers control panel.

They’re not trying to absolve themselves of responsibility.
> In other words, some people can comfortably retire when they're old, and some are basically forced to work until the day they die, and some never have to work at all. That's not at all the same as saying that everyone should have equal outcomes at all levels of the game, so much as saying that everyone should eventually be able to cross the same finish line.

That's exactly what I was referring to. Unless everybody can retire, nobody can retire. No thanks. I will do whatever it takes to keep the US from becoming that kind of a dystopia.

> What you're failing to recognize is that wealth disparities are artificially created by government policies.

I don't hold that belief. Disparities and inequality are fundamental to human life, which is why I gave the example of attractiveness, health, etc. I also mentioned careless people because you'll always have people who are self-destructive or unable to support themselves, and you can't help every single person. I'm not bothered by that, I accept it as reality. Thus I think it's utopian to believe it's possible to live fully equally, and it only keeps anybody from having nice things just because there's not enough for everyone.
I think the world has changed faster than those in certain occupations can accept. We don't see linotype operators and ice cutters anymore, and it is unfortunate for them that there is no public nostalgia for them, such as there is for ranchers, for instance. Ranchers insist on being able to continue their occupation even though the market and changes in diet have massively shrunk the demand for beef. Ranchers somehow have tied themselves to the American identity to hang on, and there exists a sympathy for them, even if red meat literally kills people. The circus is something that the modern world has outgrown. IMO, every elephant the world over that is still in captivity should be confiscated and set into a suitable sanctuary environment, as well as any large animal that is still used and bred for entertainment, such as the large cats. The cruelty of animal captivity should be made extinct. We can retrain circus workers and zoo keepers to be web developers and help desk technicians.

Can you explain how I'm weaker with 2FA via SMS than without 2FA? I agree SMS is not good 2FA but your statement is more extreme.
If the argument is "but you still have a password" it really kind of shows how weak SMS 2FA is. Compare that to a U2F token where you can very reasonably remove the password entirely and still be just as safe - it is itself just a strong auth mechanism, whereas SMS is adding extremely questionable value between the ability to phish SMS 2FAs or hijack the number.

Even in a situation where the attacker would have needed the password too, consider how much more vulnerable you are now that they have a significant piece of your auth - could they leverage that to social engineer an account recovery?

Phone numbers are terrible at conveying identity, unfortunately, so bringing them into the "who are you" heuristic is kinda just a net loss.
There's a difference between collectivism and cooperation. I contrast collectivism with individualism; i.e. valuing the collective over the individual vs valuing the individual over the collective. I want to live in an individualist society, not a collectivist one.
Yes, because it is explaining that it was a valid *customer* configuration, which is a separate set of concerns from, say, infrastructure config.

The important adjective "valid" means it was completely normal/expected input and thus not the fault of the customer.

It's perfectly clear you've come at this with a pre-determined agenda of "I bet fastly, like most other public statements after corporate booboos I've seen, will try to shrug this one off as someone else's fault" after reading the BBCs title and haven't bothered to read it at all until now.

I've only heard this from Argentinians. They think that because we refer to our country as "America", that we are disputing the existence of, or are unaware of, or are somehow slighting, South America. They want us to refer to ourselves as USAers so that we are more accurate. I don't think that one is going to stick in the USA anytime soon.

If Apple could just scale up their GPU and trounce a 430B market cap competitor's premiere product at 1/2 the power, 60% of the die size, that actually looks pretty bad for nvidia, doesn't it? Scaling is more difficult than that, and who knows if they could so easily, but who thought Apple would render both Intel and nvidia irrelevant?

Regardless, Apple's threat to vendors like that is their complete vertical integration. Ran some of the new object capture code (photogrammetry) on my M1 Mac yesterday and in no time at all the 11 trillion op neural engine blasted through and generated a remarkable model. We've seen Apple respond to discovered performance needs by plugging in a matrix engine, a neural engine, and scaling appropriately, dedicating cores and silicon to the greatest needs. They are in a very unique position relative to someone like nvidia who effectively throws something over a fence.

"They all know that once they are inside the borders, its harder for the authorities to deport them"

Deportation doesn't come into this, that's only relevant once you've broken the law or overstayed your visa.

The game is about meeting criteria for a visa route, and doing seasonal work does not help in any way. Having a UK degree enables you to get a job here easier, but thats about it.

In UK, if you are switching from a short-term to long-term visa you have to leave the country and apply for a visa again from outside the country.

Even if you are applying from inside the country, the home office does not hesitate to reject applications for the tiniest reasons. Once that happens, some people might go to court if they have the money and ground to dispute the decision, if your lot in your home country is really bad you might stay illegally, but for the vast majority neither option is worth it and they move on.

Whether you are pro or against immigration, it's unclear why unscurpulous employer should be the ones to benefit from this arrangement
