I have never needed to do that sort of memorisation in the past but have done recently. When I was a student my memory was good enough that I could skate through based on what I remembered from lessons/lectures/basic revision. In my professional life I've never needed it.

Recently though I've been learning to fly (in the UK). You have to take some theory exams. The "How the aircraft flies" exam works in the way it has in the past - read through the material a couple of times and because it's a coherent set of knowledge that fits in a framework I already understand (Engineering) I can remember everything. Air Law does not work like that though. There's lots of minutiae to learn (how much visibility do I need for VFR at 5000 feet as supposed to 1000 feet, what does the white ball above the T mean on a signal square). Anki let me learn all of that stuff over a few weeks for 15 mins a day (plus deck creation time - a couple of hours) and pass the exam with no mistakes.
I'm not perfectly familiar with power delivery or BLE, but from my experience with USB they could have just flat out omitted large parts of the spec from USB 1.0 and it wouldn't break a single use case.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if several hundred pages were added - and several million man hours wated - solely to shut up stakeholders.
This reminds me of Bill Ackman’s war against Herbalife, which in my opinion, is a perfect example of a pyramid scheme that is too big to fail.

Whether the OP is right or wrong, I honestly don’t think the crypto ecosystem is independent enough from critical transactions for it to collapse as described.
> the false sense of security it seems to give a lot of engineers into thinking they know infra when they really don't.

I don’t say this lightly: this is a big problem in our industry right now. DevOps means (to some) that developers now handle operations. The reality is that it’s difficult to juggle an operations mindset with a feature driven one.

Even if you focus on infra problems full time there is so much ground left uncovered, it would be impossible for anyone to juggle all of dev and all of infra at once, and this is compounded by the fact that ops is reductionist and dev is additive, which is an incredibly difficult problem for a person to reconcile and give full attention to one side. That’s why devops was supposed to be a division of labour; not just a dude/dudette who can configure nginx and write code.

If you can't get data on your phone, how does a QR code link help you out? It seems you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Yes absolutely, it feels like the brain is in problem-solving mode without a concrete problem to solve. It's maddening. I often experience those "dreams" when under stress.
"The reason "emphasising importance of race" happens is because there's no chance of avoiding or preventing these situations if we pretend/hope that they don't happen."

How can we move past the racial thing, when we focus so much of racial things?

I think it just reinforces the racial thinking, when with every decision concerning other people, the race factor has to be taken into account.

I want to treat humans as humans and this is my solution towards a world without racism. I don't want to have to be nicer to a person because he or she is of black skin color. Or give special reasons in case of other skincolor, why this person did not qualify for a job. Or actually having to employ people because of their skin color. That would be racism to me, even if it might be well intentioned one.

I do not think there is such a thing as "positive discrimination". Discrimination remains discrimination.
Ah, wow, glad you were able to finally get it
Another alternative (for Android) is to roll back to an earlier version of the app that was actually usable.

I use version 3.106.5 and I don't get any limitations on messages and there's a glitch where you can skip the ad by tapping where the 'X' will be before anything loads. Additionally, you can view the discussion in this version and submit change suggestions.
It's valid to ask this question: What problem(s) are digital menu's really solving? I can spot a handful.

For restaurant owners: ease of updating the menu (pricing, dishes, suggestions,...), (perceived) lower cost of maintaining paper menu's (whether disposable or reusable).

For patrons: you can bookmark the menu if it's a webpage on the restaurant's website, there's (perceived) accessibility (e.g. font zooming) but that's offset with the higher bar of scanning a QR code.

Maybe there's a niche market to be spotted for BI / data acquisition? It would be quite a tenuous proposition, since consulting a menu isn't the sames as capturing orders. Not to mention the hairy privacy issues associated here.

Here's an alternate business case where the perceived benefits of QR codes are greatly diminished pending the specific context: museums and galleries. The success of using QR codes works pending on the type of audience, the type of collection, the vision on the specific user experience a museum wants to achieve, the ability to spend time / resources on providing and keeping digital content up to date, time spend helping people out,... It's not as easy as "slap QR codes on a wall, and they will be scanned."

In the same vain, QR codes may work well in some venues, and they won't work at all in others. Context matters. A lot. For instance, if you operate a bar or restaurant in a cozy, 19th century, cottage setting and you want to foster that specific atmosphere / experience towards your patrons, sticking QR codes to the old wood would immediately detract from that. I don't see QR codes work greatly either if your into a gastronomic / gourmet niche for instance. Opposite of the spectrum, there's fast food chains and loads of small businesses who just want to get food out of the door and not much more: to them, a menu is just a business expense and a QR code is a good solution to cut costs.

I don't really mind QR codes. When I go to a run-of-the-mill place for take out, I don't mind scanning a code. My expectations will change, however, if I'm going to spend time and money hoping to get a specific experience out of it.

Seems like a well-timed IPO to sell a slightly misleading company narrative. They're labeling themselves as a growth company yet I'm very skeptical that those 2020 numbers can be maintained.

On the other hand, I did have a Duo Plus subscription for about a year (in 2020). It was my primary tool for learning Brazilian Portuguese, and when people are impressed with how much I understand, Duo has come up a few times. In other words they are achieving word-of-mouth growth. I do also think it's mostly an effective learning system (especially the Stories) but I did have 3 or 4 years of traditional Spanish education in school. If I didn't have that foundation I probably would not have got as far as I did. Also, Duo gets boring as hell after a year.
Pytorch-widedeep v1.0: deep learning for tabular data
pytorch-widedeep is a package to use deep learning with tabular data. In particular, is intended to facilitate the combination of text and images with corresponding tabular data using wide and deep models.

I'm not arguing against types either.

I'm specifically arguing against their fetishization and the way that some languages (and programmers) view everything as mathematical type transformation.

I guess i need to write my comments a bit more precisely.
Great! Thanks a lot for that! Have a good one.
Yes but the question is that is there even a “stronger case” or is any case made weak due to the possibility of there being no case.

The essay claims we have a solid understanding of the basic rules of physics. I'm not a physicist but my impression is that we don't know a lot and are missing some essential parts. Black matter and black energy anyone?

Perhaps our model of a world is missing a few dimensions which makes it hard to understand what is going on.

If you think it's weird to linger over food, take a meal as an event, rather than just a quick supercharger pit stop for the body - did you encounter the kind of restaurant where you're expected to sit at a table with random strangers? Party of three, there's room for three more, what's the problem? I've been to one where the side dishes were simply put in bowls on the center of the table and you helped yourself as needed.

I'd lived in North America for a long time by then (left Germany when I was 13) and initially this seemed a bit strange, but you get used to it. Eating as a social occasion where you might even meet interesting people.

All before COVID of course.

Where did you encounter such a restaurant?

I'd estimate that 99.9% of restaurants accept credit in the US based on the anecdote that I've only had to pay 1 restaurant in cash over the last decade.

How would a restaurant refuse both credit and cash? Do they make you pay before eating?
you're only "old school" because you can't imagine the reasoning or are projecting what you would do with a phone and are avoiding. you are imagining that everyone else just showed up at that point and disengaged. could be the case, could not be, you can't distinguish and it isn't your role to. Healthier to assume they aren't disengaged, if you must assume anything.

other reasons I would have my phone with me would be for the uber/shared ride to and from the location, to potentially pay for the meal or incidentals, to potentially take photos, to share my location with someone looking for me usually in that group that hasn't arrived yet, or continue sharing my location to people I always do. I hear this last part is taboo, but maybe even text message someone.
If this is not a monopoly, then I don't know what is! Facebook is a propaganda machine and all in power want to control it and do favors to it. It needs to be regulated! By default, I'm against regulation but come to Eastern Europe to see what life is like in an under-regulated world! Regulation is progress! You can't expect all players to play fair!
Because reducing each human's consumption by X% is always going to be less effective than flattening the exponential curve of population growth. It's not even close. Especially when the global trend is towards higher per capita consumption rather than the reverse. Reusing grocery bags in the US (hey I do it too) is nothing compared to the mass modernization going on in huge areas of the world.

And "culling" (I assume you mean through violent means) isn't necessary. Simply reducing birth rates achieves the same solution.
Except I play some video games that really motivate me to keep playing. Both video games and Duolingo accomplished this by eliminating the learning portion from their software to boost retention.

Is there any easy way to guard against this without putting everything in a VPC?
I use gov.uk for all kinds of stuff but I've never needed to 'navigate' as such. You get a letter with a url on it, and you type in the url (e.g. vehicle tax). Or you google something, and you generally end up at the right page to do what you need or tell you what you need. Or maybe sometimes you're one click away but its pretty obvious. This was one of their goals back in 2016 and I think its worked.

I dont need to 'navigate', its not wikipedia. I wonder if they are doing this because they're the only people with an overview of the whole site, and it seems like a big mess to them? It may well be a big mess, but to me (and I suspect a lot of people) it doesn't matter. Like, most people dont want to hang around at gov.uk, you go in and do whatever you need to do, and then you leave. You're not browsing.

Generally I think the GDS era has been great, particulaly for covid they've had to throw a lot of things together very quickly (e.g. ordering tests by post) and its all just worked.
Apparently Google Project Zero timeline only applies to others...
Yes, of course. It’s not that scary or difficult.
This seems to suffer from the same problem that many of these learning apps have: it forces you to start as an absolute beginner, even if you aren't one. If you are on an intermediate or advanced level, this website could still be useful, but you first have to go through thousands of very easy sentences.

It could very well gauge my level by upping the difficulty until I start making too many errors, and then taking it from there. But nope, by default it'll start with the 1000 most common words, which has zero learning effect, and is mostly annoying and boring.

Even if one wasn't strictly necessary, I know a lot of companies throw one in there regardless. The reasoning being that it's better to have it and cover your bases, then not have it and get hit with GDPR.
It seems nobody actually got what I was trying to say, which is on me in the end.

Types are fine, they're really useful. I just think they can be taken too far, particularly in the realm of mathematically-focused languages like Haskell, where there appears to be an idea that everything is types and your program is merely a description of changes between them. I find this sort of thing overly abstract and at the same time brittle.

The disability issue is orthogonal. You either develop with it in mind or just ignore it and hope it will go away at a later stage. This is wrong!
You can totally start a new mongodb container and connect other containers to it without ever using auth. I'm doing it right now with docker-compose for local development.
You do not really need a lock. On an spsc queue, the producer will publish the message (by bumping the write pointer of setting the next pointer on the previous message) only after it is done constructing it. In the mpsc case the producer will also need to reserve the space first by atomically increasing the producer shared write pointer.

This is similar to the disruptor model, except that write positions are not pointer sized but arbitrary sized. Similarly to the disruptor model, the mpsc case is technically not lock-free (not even obstruction-free), but writers and the consumer never need to block on an actual lock.
Is it really proprietary or just different from how other Android app stores operate?

AFAIK, they are just doing what every major Linux distro does - they rebuild all software they ship from source on trusted build infra.

Much harder to slip in malware unnoticed, makes sure the source is publicaly available and has the correct license as well as that it can actually be built outside of developers laptop. I guess yoi could also mass rebuild apps that bundle some library that has a CVE found or to make them work on newer Android API levels.

If you just let developpers upload APK blobs you loose all of that.

I think there's a kind of pyramid. From the small number of people at the top who make the hardware, to a larger number making the OS, to a larger number making various libraries, to the most people (with least technical-skill requirements) making products by tacking API's together. The bottom of the pyramid may be increasing in size the fastest, meaning the most jobs (and if the labor supply can't keep up, we get this backwards system where the highly-trained engineers make less than far-less-skilled API users), but those jobs at the top of the pyramid haven't gone away, they've just been eclipsed.
"Making luck" trope is used by people to justify their self-importance to themselves.

There are a few things that make it more likely to be able to take advantage of an opportunity, but those are available to a huge number of others who are not as lucky.

And there's no guarantee that what you're doing will prepare you for the opportunity at any given time.

Suppose next 20 years 2/3 middle managers will get replaced by AGI. They may have been lucky before but it does not hold. Combine with people who lost a lot of resources by investing. There is an old adage about not investing what you cannot afford to lose, they thought you could not lose that job, but it happened anyway.

Nobody likes to hear about hundreds of thousands of losers every day, who will be then unable to follow up on opportunities.

Unlike games of skill, life is much more of a game of chance with a lot predetermined from outset. It's closer to a deck builder but sometimes you just get trash picks.

Given Wine and Proton, Linux gaming is pretty much solved at this point, with the exception of online multiplayer and a few janky late 2000s games.

I would ask when you ignore a problem does it go away? In my experience the answer is always no. You have to face a problem head on. The fact of the matter is people still experience racism all the time to this day.

No one should be asking you to hire someone simply because they’re of a different skin color. Most of the time in my experience people ask you to be more aware of you and how you feel, and to ask yourself am I doing this perhaps because of some unconscious bias I have?
