At some point, that ‘one’ language can just be the one you work with at your job. It’s not required to like this langage. My main langage is Typescript in the front end. I hate it with passion (tbh, it’s the JavaScript part and the terrible ecosystem, ts is pretty smartly designed) and it will never be a requirement (on my side) for my next company to use typescript. Even working on front end is not a requirement although I mostly did only that for years.

And what made me a better Typescript programmer was to hack some F#, C#, Elixir, Rust, Python… Not even real projects but just little katas and a lot of documentation readings.

In my experience, becoming specialist in a langage can even be dangerous if your work doesn’t consists of « framework code » because the more you know about the machinery, the more you are tempted to write code that nobody else will understand. Of course it’s a trend I saw, not a general rule.
I've looked a bit around and in particular in the poppler library code to see how it works, they use QRawFont in the Qt backend to exploit subpixel antialiasing and native font technologies for each platform. We could do the same, essentially replace our glyph rendering code with something similar to their code. In this way we will make TeXmacs rendering similar to that of Okular, for example.
Certainly. McCain had to say what would win him the primary. That’s just how a representative democracy works. You’re a follower first, a leader later. I can’t say how President McCain might have led his supporters.
It asks me to get a captcha on https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html, but the site does not seem to work.
How does this not violate the GPL and more permissive licenses such as Apache that require attribution?
> The sticking point would be the bombers themselves. Maybe they chicken out at the last minute and then expose the conspirators.

Very trivial to deal with, if one of them starts to speak up you just send the FBI to conduct an "interview" during the course of which they can be assassinated, like they did with Ibragim Todashev.
This is not really new, it's more a new generation of people who discover something that other have known for 20 years already.

The ironie is that the recent wave seems to originated from roam and other webservices, which are quite far from being plain text or even just being open.
Yes, you already made that point, and I responded by saying that the States can do this and the federal government could just co-ordinate it as part of a national strategy.

In fact travel rights were actually restricted in practice by the Federal Government and it's agencies, and states under both Republican and Democrat leadership. There are many well established exceptions that restrict access to constitutional rights under various circumstances, so the contention that this can't be done falls a bit flat. If nobody can do it, how come everybody did it?
Here in the UK I was always taught that pigeons are the descendents of species native to cliff species (Rock Doves), and they are just well suited to urban life. It's not their fault.

Never heard domestication / feral theory so perhaps that's US only.
Same is true of Bret Weinstein
Most people I know who’ve been to college, or otherwise educated in the area they work in, tend to solve problems using what they know (not implying it’s a hard limit. Just an apparently well spread first instinct).

Which fits the pattern matching described by the grandparent.

A few people I know, most of which haven’t been to college, or done much learning at all, but are used to work outside of what they know (that’s an important part), tend to solve problems with things they didn’t know at the time they set out to solve said problems.

Which doesn’t really fit the pattern matching mentioned by the grandparent. At least not in the way it was meant.
I think programmers will just write model and tests in the end. The rest will be generated.
Interesting that people have these experiences. I use eBay a lot, mostly buying 2nd hand computer hardware and retro gaming stuff(consoles/games/accessories) and I'd say I have problems with as many as 50% of all my purchases. Some bigger problems where I want to return the item, some smaller ones where I paid extra for postage but it was ignored, that sort of thing. The complaints procedure exist but it's weak(seller sells a "mint condition" genuine PS2 controller, got the controller it's all dirty and with frayed cable, complain to seller, they say "oh it's mint for the age, nothing wrong with it", complain to ebay, seller has a week to respond, nothing, ebay sends me a label to ship it back, have to go to the post office to send it back, wait another week, nothing, ebay finally refunds me my money. You know how it would work with Amazon? I would complain in chat, they would send a courier to pick it up from me the next working day, I would have the money back 5 minutes after the courier picked up the parcel). And then I had someone send me actual expletives-filled email calling me all kinds of worst things in the world because I left a neutral(!!!) feedback on their account, after I paid extra for 1st class postage but they shipped 2nd class. And sellers in general just have no idea about consumer laws(yes, if you sold this item as brand new then you have to accept a 14 day return by law) which leads to arguments and just in general everything being so stressful.

I've had over 200 amazon orders last year, didn't have a problem with a single one of them. Few times I wanted to return something they either sent a courier to collect it from me directly, or just refunded me anyway. And few times I ordered from somewhere else(urrghhh.....Currys) the customer service was absolutely abysmal. I'm just not brave enough to order from anyone but Amazon nowadays*.

*here in the UK, understand the American Amazon is far worse for <reasons>
Not if your private environment is large enough that you can create individual cloud platforms inside of it. One level more detached than AWS GovCloud / whatever Ali does.

The contractors would likely never touch the live system. Just deliver the project to deploy.
As far as I remember it was mainly the Chinese side that framed the HK democracy movement as secessionist.
Still it's a pretty different baseline from Windows where you get ads in the start menu and a lot of telemetry is send home by default.
I fondly remember the CMO taking me aside after I gave a presentation at a Company town hall (startup, ~300 people) and gently telling me I just made myself and the Marketing department look incompetent. I’m not completely bought into the whole radical candor thing but this was a great example of it working.
Presumably because they don't believe it's safe to leave the fate of the species in the hand of the market (or at least they want to appear that way.)
Writing and maintaining a program in a statically typed language is significantly easier and faster than doing the same in a dynamic language while manually writing all the tests that would cover the same level of correctness that types give you out of the box.
I do the same, except I edit the information on musicbrainz (including adding album art) and then use that as the source of data. That way I'm contributing to the database and making sure my tags are perfect.
In summary, the documentation tool is no good for open-source projects because it doesn't work with a non open-source website?
I'm pretty sure that was debunked several years ago. Plus, video was finally released, so there's that.
The CCP does not represent Chinese people and its sickening that they are so hell bent on controlling all of them.
Thanks for the detailed description. I understand better the problem. I'm not very accustomed to other scripts so I would need to look into this with more details. But at least now I understand what HarfBuzz is about :)
Depends on how the mandate is specified / enforced.
But generally speaking : broadband is infrastructure & utility = natural monopoly.
Same applies to electric grid & production btw.

Way better results to be had this way then false competition.
Is there any economics term for being "too big to care"? This seems to be a case of that, and it seems to be quite widespread at Amazon in particular. Just look at the mess that is the AWS console UI as another example. With all those billions and billions, you'd think that they could remedy a lot of this stuff.

But alas, why bother when you are in such a dominant market position? Of course I could think of a lot of reasons, but this seems to be the mentality.
Another strange one is the speech than Rumsfeld gave about missing trillions at the Pentagon 1 day before 9/11, then completely forgotten in the face of increased military spending the next day.

For starters it is maybe great, but I see problem with types that are not explained but create problems when building something more. Because in the end `var` is not just a bucket and adding strings to number bites people.

It is like learning how to snowboard, I am now on a level where I can go downhill quite quickly, but I don't have enough experience to not crash if something unexpected pops up.

Learning with `var` is just a bucket seems to be that it is going to cause a lot of frustration and pain later on when person thinks he gets it.
If you ask me, btrfs had issues in the past and it caused them some reputation damage but it's getting there. And many distros started using it as their default, as does Synology.

It's a safe pick if you ask me. Still, I would go for ext4 if you don't specifically want or need things like storage pools, snapshots and such advanced (ZFS-like) features.
True - I have seen this on a few occasions; sometimes the 'tucking away' includes a social element applied by overriding responses in conversations, making detracting remarks and generally casting shade over said whizzkid - boxing them in in the co's social as well as organisational hierarchy.
The best things about Elixir is it's pattern matching and it's inbuilt documentation tool. Each and every document for every package is consistent, which are exploited by the IDE tools for stellar in editor help.
Such polls are done frequently and have been for a long time, so there's a wealth of data on who and what the US population trusts, like this one:

No, I'm serious about this: according to whom?
Oh, for sure. I didn't mean to suggest it's a common or respected belief, only that there are some who support it.

(and probably more who use examples of it in bad faith arguments presuming that such groups exist in larger numbers, e.g. "look at those crazy feminists!")

> If we want English to be more gender-neutral, we could revert to werman, wifman and man.

There's a part of me that loves this idea, even if I recognize the absurdity of suggesting it. I guess it's made more sense to me than trying to replace a large portion of English vocab en masse, like all the vocational terms ending in "-man".

A curious example of a Germanic cousin of English that underwent the same "masculinization" of the word man but "came back" is Swedish, where the word "man" means "adult male", but is also used as a neuter pronoun meaning "generic person" (usually translated as "one" in English).

As far as I know the other Nordic languages didn't develop this usage, but I'm less familiar with them.
Is setting up a (free) Netlify site really such a big barrier to entry? GitHub really has the community spoiled with their big bundle of free services.

Anyway, I suspect there’s a reasonably good chance for GitHub to pick this up eventually as a feature for Pages.
I installed Pop!_OS 20.10 (non LTS) on my Ryzen 2600 + RTX 3060 Ti PC.

No issues whatsoever. Even this random cheap bluetooth dongle I use works without a hassle.
it doesn't work with any kind of static web hosting which is a shame given that it's all static content anyways.

The scripts could be adapted to work without requiring URL rewriting on the server.

The second complaint is about styling which currently doesn't seem possible. If you're a project of any considerable size, you probably will want your docs to be branded in some way which is not possible either ATM.
> No, unfortunately no SSD. I think that's the main problem actually.

So since these things have 16GB RAM...

If you're on Linux and can get by on 8GB RAM for running IntelliJ/Docker (probably fine?), then you can use the other 8GB as a ramdisk into which you load your stuff your on boot. Try a ramdisk + unionfs that you populate on boot for instance.

That'll be faster than a SSD.

But:

- Increased risk of data loss depending on your strategy for syncing it with the physical partition

- Your software has to fit on a ~8GB partition (that'll be cutting it close if you want to store docker containers on there too)

- It'll add a minute or so to boot time - when you're copying the physical partition to the ramdisk

- It's hacky as fuck

- The OS will have less space for caches, which will bite you if you're still using the HDD for any other data

But at least you won't be waiting for HDD seeks during auto complete. Don't forget to disable swap, which likes to cause disk access during autocomplete too and would be very counterproductive with this setup.
It's not just about regurgitating training data during a beam search, it's also about being a derivative work, which it clearly is in my opinion.
Seems interesting, but why don't you give premium to everyone who signs up for at least the first day/week?
How can I tell if I will like it if I can only listen to piano without signing up for yet another service.
If it doesn't make any difference, why is it important? It seems it is a security valve working directly against the average citizen that is "willing to fight to the death to preserve it". It is there to keep the status quo.
People often say things like
"because raw JS/HTML/CSS development is terrible and makes it easy to make terrible architectural decisions and write unmaintainable spaghetti code"

But what would be a minimal as possible example for this?

I know a bit reactjs and it can get complicated as well with multiform s and various elements states depending on each other quickly too.

A bad architecture can be "achieved" by either, I am curious about some examples showing me what people mean exactly by that.
Yep. You will also often immediately get connected to a sales rep via chat, and they will follow up you all the way through to shipping and for any repeat orders.
Since we're talking about vaccines and medicine, what kind of science and what kind of scientists are we talking about here? What would amateur medical empiricism with human subjects look like? Every society has scientists and doctors, and every society must decide how to establish harmony with their professional medical groups.
Probably should have been phrased

"without a single penny spent of local tax dollar money. We've been fortunate to get enough grant money from both state and federal to get this off the ground."

That will get local support as local anti-tax people know that if they don't spend the state/fed money, other towns will. They won't get lower state/fed taxes.
Taxes are usually calculated per year.
It's not just about copying verbatim. They clearly use GPL code during training to create a derivative work.

Then you have the issue of attribution with more permissive licenses.
For me, the excitement comes from Microsoft spending big money on this tech. For those in the field of program synthesis it will be interesting to compare performance and viability of the tech. It's still early stages but this has been long coming and will put the emphasis of software development into more collaborative aspects such as architecture, design and code reviews.
MOB (MobileCoin) looks like an attempt at monetization, a bit shady if you ask me.

Other than monetization, I get Moxie stance, even though I disagree. If you control both the server and the client and don't allow alternative clients and federation, it is easier to make changes, keep focus, and you don't have to deal with complains from users with crappy clients.

Signal is also security and privacy-focused, and Moxie presumably want to keep that image. What if some forks throw away that aspect, for example by storing plain text message in "the cloud". Personally, I actually don't care that much about the privacy/security aspect of Signal, as weird as it may sound, for me, Signal is just a nice, no nonsense messenger with security as a bonus and I would welcome a fork that makes a convenience trade off. But these less secure clients may undermine trust for those who really see it as a primary reason.
Of course, if you use "fractions" then, we agree, no error will be introduced nor accumulated over computations which is better. The code base I'm talking about is Java 10 years ago. I was not aware of fractions at that time. There was only BigDecimal which was painful to work with (the reason why we ditched it at the time).
Thanks for your suggestion. I think not using an IDE isn't the best idea, since then they've never used it when they start their first job. They're complete beginners. While I agree it's important to understand the fundamentals (and I do in fact teach them how to compile just with javac), I also think it's important to be familiar with modern tooling.
Oh man, you are a legend to me! I deeply appreciate you and I remember that the first purchase I ever made on the internet 20 years ago was one of your klein bottles! It was such a scary but amazing first experience. It seemed so magical at the time, to buy an object from the other side of the world! As a teenager I had to convince my dad to use his credit card. We were afraid to send the credit card number by email, and we used a fax machine by your suggestion.

The bottle arrived broken and we were dismayed. We sent you a careful report with photos of the packaging and the broken bottle (real film photos, that we had to develop and then scan into the computer to produce an email). You were so kind to send a new bottle and even said sorry. I was amazed by your reply and by the fact that people so far away could be kind to each other. It really blew my mind. At the time, in my country, the internet was seen as a really unsafe place were you were not supposed to ever say your real name.

To this day, I keep both bottles you sent as my most prized possessions. The cracked one is actually cooler, and the crack has been growing (you can make the crack grow by pressing slightly with the thumb). In a few years it will break the bottle apart in a topologically interesting way.
Pretty sure you'll still need a concrete foundation, or else the house will slowly drift away. But plumbing is probably the hardest/most expensive thing about it.
Oh this is about the "Database Rights".

In essence, EU, UK and the USA has different opinion on the ownership status and rights of databases.

EU: Databases are similar to other copyrightable works, thus you can't simply copy someones database.

UK: Like EU but with different flavour.

USA: There's no such things as database rights.

Apparently, although the positions of UK and EU are similar, since UK is no longer in the EU and there's no mutual agreement on how to make things work those who want to have their databases protected by the law need to move to the jurisdiction that fits their needs and in the case of OpenStreetMap that would be EU.

fun fact: The last time the database rights was a hot topic, it was about Google copying the database of a small company that specialises in building a database of net worth of celebrities.

Aren’t all the problems solvable with a few scripts? The complaint seems to be that the archival format isn’t directly compatible with GitHub pages, and it’s stored in an odd folder, but should be possible to copy and extract out into any format using a script.
> I mean the term "conservative mayor" is pretty much unheard of in terms of party lines.

Is that true? The current mayor of Toronto was the leader of the Ontario PC party.
Sorry Nat, but I don't think it really answers anything. I would argue that using GPL code during training falls under Copilot being a derivative work of said code. I mean if you look at how a language model works, than it's pretty straightforward. The word "code synthesizer" alone insinuates as much. I think this will probably ultimately tested in court.
I'm saying this in general, not specifically about the democracy movement but about depiction in the media. In the media HK is almost always presented as "HK v China" like it's somehow a different country. This is an obvious rhetorical trick, IMHO.

Now, regarding those protests, when demonstrators are filmed waving the HK colonial flag, the Union Jack, or the Star spangled banner they are handing a big stick to the central government to label them secessionists and puppets of foreign influence.

Edit: Right now on the BBC there is an article titled "HK's year under China's controversial law", which makes it sound like HK is being occupied by a foreign country...
> They also vehemently deny any kind of racism against mainlanders

Do racists happily admit that they are racists though?
AES/Rijdael is already somewhat arithmetization-oriented, because all its constituent operations are over the field GF(256). Hash functions like SHA2-256 and SHA3/Keccak do not have this property. However, you need to adapt the field to the zk-SNARK proof system if you want to save on performance cost, so you won't be able to use AES in this context anyway.

The first cipher to have this property was, I think, LowMC (2015). There have been a bunch more proposals since -- MiMC (2016), GMiMC (2019), Starkad and Poseidon (2019), Vision and Rescue (2019), and Rescue-Prime [1] (2020). I may be missing some; there was a rapid development in this field in the last years.

First off disputed borders are a very common occurrence in geo politics. It rarely prevents country C from recognizing both country A and country B. Outside of the Taiwan case I can't think of a situation where a border claim dispute effectively locked a country out of nearly all international forums (or crippled it to the point of having no significant voice). The situation is very unique to say the least, but let's be frank it is dysfunctional.

Secondly reunification by any method along any short or long time frame has only a small amount of public support in Taiwan. (Recent polling: https://jamestown.org/program/taiwanese-public-opinion-on-ch...). It has been on a downward trend for quite awhile. Anyone suggesting Taiwan is going to make a forceful play to establish Taiwanese control over mainland china is beyond delusional. Very sadly the likelihood of the inverse happening grows higher day by day (both in CCP leaders talking points and military displays).

Tldr I chose the words Republic of Taiwan very deliberately. :).

I think the alternative is buying proper laptops for about 1000$. Let's say they're good for about 4 years, that's $250 per participant (it's a yearly course).

Definitely in the budget. It's just that my boss thinks it's not necessary.
In years past, I'd say his business is perfect for Etsy. But that is a disaster now as well.
