“Strong opinions loosely held”. I learned this at about the 15 year mark of my career. Made the next 10 much easier.
Don't you think there's some other job they could be doing that benefits society more?
White Cliffs is a similar town in New South Wales, though an order of magnitude smaller. Worth a visit if you're spending some time in the Broken Hill area.

Or hydroponics/aquaponics, where you don't need any soil, and only about 10% of the water.
I don't know if I would recommend it, but I've noticed that in the past, whenever I moved to a different type of computer/OS (Amiga, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.) or language (Java, Javascript, etc.), I ported my biorhythm program to the new system/language. It starts out simple - just strings, math, file/screen input/output, then progresses to graphical plotting of the biorhythm curves. It's a simple algorithm. Disclaimer, I don't know if I believe in biorhythms, it's just something interesting and a flashback to my childhood in the 70s.

Basically, I would say the easiest way would be to choose something you've already conquered in a language/system you already know. That way, you're only tackling one new thing.

BTW, it wasn't always biorhythms for me - I originally wrote my Mandelbrot program in Pascal, and taught myself C in order to convert it to C so it would run faster.
The reports were claimed to be from the US office but the the testing was done in China. So they were a kind of fake.
It has basically become a political talking point. My aunt is in rural Ohio making 80k per year as a HS history teacher. She is tenured but money wasn’t ever a struggle for her.
Probably not unique, though. Well, yours might be; but in general, a person's name isn't a reliable unique identifier. Nor anyone's name. Even if you have a timestramp, you can't be sure it's unique.
As the article states, this isn't indicative of monetary inflation, rather it's a supply and demand issue. I do find myself wondering about the influence of on housing prices of some desire to secure low fixed-rate mortgages while they last.

That said, in case this made it on the board as part of the recent inflation meme, I'll mention that it does seem to me that most evidence used to support the inflation story isn't really about monetary inflation, from chips to bikes to houses to used cars to copper and even labor prices, and the economists who aren't afraid of inflation seem to me to have the better arguments this time. I might have some bias after 2008-9 when a similar chorus of inflation hawks was singing doom, that time during a deflationary event (they claimed the Fed would overprint). Anyway I'm not able to get scared of inflation at this point, but would love to hear thoughtful counter-opinions.
Don't forget that at least one of those first gen nukes was initially earmarked for Germany, before VE. Even if they decided not to use one in Europe, the demonstration in Japan would still be persuasive.

Anything that required a time frame of later than 1945 would've likely been too late to matter.
Yes, I did say lockdown and not quarantine though.

Real lockdowns are much more effective than your suggested state mandated diet and workouts though. They, in countries that did it for real, which means not keeping megastores and large companies open but actually locking down everything and using the army and police to deliver food that you then cook to everyone, you can get the mortality rate to basically zero. Which Vietnam did.
wtf! can you link that? that makes even less sense because of the lack of physical contact.

but why in the world are people still writing code like this in 2020?

To be frank, because some people still value intelligence and understanding.

I have been working with C for decades and that code is basically second-nature to me. It reads very naturally. Perhaps it should be you and all the anti-intellectuals who should instead consider why they find it "confusing", and take some personal responsibility to actually try to learn the language instead of complaining that it's "not readable".

It's especially ironic given the premise is that C code has security bugs... if the goal is to avoid that, shouldn't there be even more care taken to avoid this kind of code?

On the contrary, mental laziness is a bigger source of bugs than anything else. Making code more verbose does not help, and your version has so many more "moving pieces" that I'd say it's harder to understand.
I think soon enough there will be Raspberry Pi Pico computers. It's already getting pretty close. I think you could get a fully functional computer combined with a Raspberry Pi Pico Explorer board and some choice circuits on the built-in bread board.

Another one that you might like for you list - I'm building one of these right now: https://smartykit.io It's a working Apple-1 clone. I consider it "modern" because it has 3 Arduino chips on board to handle input and output.

Also, check out the MiniSAM. Not only are they really useful, they're cute.
Other comments point out valid technical concerns, but even if those were solved, there's still not a clear application in manufacturing. If it has already been automated (e.g. semiconductors, welding car frames) then there's not a lot to gain from Deep RL.

On the other hand, if it hasn't been automated yet, who is going to invest hundreds of millions into a Deep RL system (never mind an army of robots) when they can just pay a slightly higher variable fee for humans. For example, sure a robot could theoretically sew jeans for $0.20 vs a human at $15.00 (living wage in US), but does any one firm have the scale to justify $500M to train Deep RL?
Someone else answered correctly saying an EUA can't be issued if an already licensed drug can help. I would further that point by saying to actually go dig up the true source of that policy on the FDA's website in your country (not someone's summary or interpretation). It's a great exercise that will leave you with some sort of ground truth in this mess.

Same as in coding, you eventually reach a point where you learn that when in doubt, you must read the source.
Opportunity loss. I came across the phrase "increase your surface area of luck" somewhere and it is relevant here.

I am guilty of the same.
Wow this site is fast. Well done. FWIW you can use AdSense/ad tags within LiveView, if you're using that. There's an attribute you need to set - Google it - I can't recall atm, but I got it working just fine on one of my sites to refresh ads and also take advantage of LiveViews speed for user engagement.
> After 20 years of browsing the web, at least for me, THE way became the shortcut and I never click on that

Again, that’s an accelerator. That’s for advanced use. So you’re an advanced user, good on you. Things are not designed just for advanced users.

> I can understand why they pushed it a click away, maybe numbers/studies back this up

No studies would back up making an interface less discoverable, thus less intuitive for new users, and also increasing cognitive load by requiring users to remember where something is rather than it just being there. ‘…’ and hamburger menus have always been poor substitutes for well-designed navigation hierarchies.

Someone actually ran the new tabs against Jakob Nielsen’s usability heuristics, respected in the industry for 27 years: https://twitter.com/feetsnz/status/1403849426683138053

The results were not good.

There are no numbers on the planet that could justify lowering usability. Apple themselves gave a WWDC session on how minimalism != usability. Of course, they can have a minimalist interface; that should never come at the expense of usability. They don’t eat their own dog food.

> Anyway when we play games we never count clicks right?

Your points may be valid.

I was making a different point - there is a legal entity at the top which is really just a holding company akin to Berkshire Hathaway. Inside that entity there are a number of completely different businesses. Disney (the thing humans think of when you say Disney) is one of them. ESPN is another. ABC is another. You can see an overview here:

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

Some of them broadly work together strategically. Some do not.
Most Linux/BSD distros compile their binaries with compiler hardening flags that mitigate this sort of issue, does Apple not use those flags?
I'm not sure accurate the gallon of water per almond is or if it's still the case, but it's pretty obvious the most of the water isn't being exported, and a lot of what is exported would have drained into the ocean 150 years ago.
Any significant action or inaction early in a career can be considered a huge mistake years later with 20-20 hindsight.

And it actually depends more hugely on exactly particular goals which are always going to change over a career anyway.

Especially if you allow for this in advance, the very same actions or inactions of the past can turn out to be a great advantage in case an unforseen future comes along.

Where you can respond to a moving goalpost or even help place it in the path of your most applicable strengths, when you need it most.

You certainly won't be able to change those early career actions or inactions regardless.
Is it a transfer, or just a reduction?

Presumably the plants won't exist without this subsidy, so it's a win win if it incentivizes creation of plants.

Teaching (in Australia, but the pattern in the US is similar although lower[0]) is known to have okay starting pay that doesn't scale with experience. I'd expect some interesting effects around tenure, because those who leave or enter teaching probably do so when they're at the start of their career, when their pay is most competitive.

> Being already fully licensed medications, that could put the issuance of an EUA for vaccines or Remdesivir in jeopardy.

Remdesevir is fully approved in the US.
> If you do that, then the outlet air will have twice as much water.

As long as that dewpoint is reasonably comfortable, that's not necessarily an issue.

> If you started with hot, humid air, that means you're still going to have quite a bit of humidity even as you drop the temperature through the 70s.

So you're going to need to cool the air more to reach the same level of comfort.

You can't cool the air further without also further dehumidifying it. If you cool the air to, say, 60 F, the dewpoint can't be any higher than 60 F. There's no way to cool the air to 60 F but have a dewpoint of 68 F. That's physically impossible.

> Are you sure the savings outweigh the costs?

There is no such tradeoff: lower air temperature and more dehumidification always go together; they have to, as explained above.

The savings comes from running continuously at a lower level of both cooling and dehumidification, one that is just sufficient to maintain comfort, instead of switching between full on (which cools more than needed to maintain comfort--it has to, to compensate for the period when the system is going to be off again) and full off (which doesn't cool or dehumidify at all, so the air warms up and gets more humid again until it reaches the point where the system has to switch back to full on). The switching on and off is less efficient for a given level of comfort.
We have news media and journalism specifically to investigate and hold politicians and government to account. Why would we not allow the same in engineering?

Outrageous. Something definitely smells. Worth further investigation.

MiSTer is real hardware emulation (using FGPA to recreate the functionality of the original hardware at the gate level), not run of the mill software emulation.

So it is much more like running original hardware like you've described than any other emulators.

mike_h has some good advice, deconstructing other people's songs is a great way to learn Renoise. The forum was pretty friendly when I was active, and people post examples frequently, so that's a great resource.

I also recommend learning the keyboard shortcuts like the back of your hand. It really helps with keeping in flow and is one of the biggest advantages of the tracker interface.
The evidence for uighur genocide by the CCP far outstrips what you have here. Uighur participation in CIA action doesn't automatically invalidate the fact that there is a genocide playing out, the same as implied CIA activity in the tiananmen protests doesn't invalidate the civilian's actions or complaints, and it certainly doesn't justify the PLA turning its weapons on its own citizens, any more than the united States' decision to drone strike an American citizen for terrorist group ties can be justified.
If you're not making an abundant number of _technical_ mistakes early in your career (like your examples), you're playing too safe.

Hi, I have a question if you have time at some point:

When you say “ Then by using financial regulations to require loans which expand quantity of legal tender in circulation to be issued on security of the replacement cost of tangible industrial capital, structures, plant, and equipment values rather than on security of the present value of future property rents.”

This is interesting to imagine, but how? (Sorry if it’s a stupid-obvious question, but I am earnest in asking it. Perhaps I am stupid tonight.)
I could certainly see regulation to kill the “future rents/superprofits industry” but not quite sure how to require loans for ... call it the future-tangible-industry-industry?
Also sorry this question is formulated in such a round about way.

Gleeful aside: Me thinks the status quo elite would not like it. ;)

Finally; I am happy to do research -> how might you suggest I google my way into this viewpoint most directly?
Pretty amazing it was made so small, however the specs, which are impressive, state of the art, are still far from what would be considered a scallable quantum computer: 11 qubits with gate fidelities of 99.9%

The problem of climate extremists is that they have no idea what the risks to humans are, yet they want to cripple or destroy civilization just in case it's bad. There's a cost-benefit balance to be struck and people screeching about the end of the world are incapable of doing that.

It's like banning the use of radio just in case hostile aliens pick up our signals and know we're here and come and attack Earth. Yea, it's a risk, yea it might kill off humans, or at least cause food instability, but it's a low risk so we decide to employ the "wait and find out" strategy.

You might say aliens invading is a ridiculously low risk, unlike the catastrophes caused by climate change, but to compare them, you have to quantify the risk climate change. Nobody has, as far as I know. I've seen some predictions of costs, lives lost, sea level rise, temperature rise, but all of them are extremely tame and no worse that common disasters that we already experience and tolerate.
Not taking enough chances. I've been doing this for over 20 years and there's only a couple of jobs I've interviewed for that I didn't come with an offer. I thought that meant I was hot shit until a few years ago, I realized that I was really just aiming too low.
It is being weaponized.
Similarly, selling the 60-70BTC I mined at around $2-3 each (early 2011), after I (CS student) and a couple of economics students came to the conclusion it was never going to last. Really wish I'd kept even one just as a punt.

In other words, you're just repeating cargo-cult "I don't like how this looks" dogmatism and rejecting it outright, instead of making any attempt at actual understanding.

I strongly recommend that everyone should try an APL-family language, even if only a little bit, to realise that there's a whole world of programming beyond the lowest-common-denominator tripe that's common these days. The mind needs to be exercised.

In my country, ivermectin it is an approve drug but not for COVID. Like a lot of other drugs which are approved as being safe but that does not mean they are good for COVID.

So I don't see how your argument contradicts the one you are replying which says there is no an overwhelming amount of evidence for ivermectin as a good treatment for COVID.

I am also not against being used by doctors who have the time for trying it and seeing if works. As we don't have a wide available treatment which we know for sure (with a high probability) that will cure COVID then maybe trying various scenarios could be a way to cure more people. But we have to take into consideration that giving one treatment means not giving other treatments so it is not an easy choice.

> Held too many strong opinions for really no good reason other than technical "virtue signaling" of sorts.

Oh my god this is so true for me too. I had really strong opinions on so many things that if I put aside my ignorant opinions about them, I / my life / career would have been better. Strong opinions I had included I don't need to use OOP in PHP (had to until too late), Bitcoin is worthless who would ever invest in it (had to until too late / costly), NoSQL is just useless, what's so wrong with PostgreSQL (had to swallow my words until I used Redis), so many more. The current opinion I am holding is "who needs Kubernetes" when individual VMs do the trick and slowly but steadily I feel these words will be regretted too.
> that doesn't scale with experience

Is this true? I have several friends who are teachers in the US and they say they get pay raises for experience and for any extra accreditation they pursue. Which isn’t to remark on whether the pay is satisfactory, but I get the impression that the pay does increase and can do so pretty significantly.

That's my experience too. As a junior, however, I couldn't tell good employers from bad so I tended to pick bad ones (they vastly outnumber the good ones, after all) and then stay with them for far too long.

I mean, I value continuity and a healthy long-term relationship with a reciprocating organisation more than most, but the first few years I spent at a crap shop for crap pay and with only fear of my superiors motivating me? I think I could have gotten the same experience but better in a few other places I've been since.

(On the other hand, maybe that first experience is what made me so picky in selection of employers after that?)
