> These are edits of popular movies that take place over the span of about 10 minutes but instead of being uploaded for review or critique, they instead aim to make viewing the original movies unnecessary.

If a 10 minutes summary is enough so it is not worth to see your movie, maybe the problem of your movie is not the 10 minute summary.

Maybe we should be able to sue movie makers if the movie quality is not up to pair with the trailer. False advertisement is not legal, even in Japan. That way people would not need to look to 10 minutes summaries to know if watching a movie is going to be a waste of money and time.
Something not mentioned in the article is how willing 'Fronk' was to match and exceed every interviewer's offer. Get offers from FAANG enough times and Fronk would be paying quite nicely to stay competitive. It's not only unethical but stupid to commit to turning down a better offer than the one you currently have.
I don't know the history of F# at Olo, but they use it in production projects and in a lot of internal tools. It has been well received, C# devs usually have no problem picking it up when needed and enjoy it. We are still ~90% C# but the F# code isn't going anywhere.

"The CDC and FDA have issued an unusual evening joint statement, which pushes back on Pfizer's announcement that it will seek approval for a third shot (second booster).

"Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time,"

The news will continue to post stories and think pieces about new covid variants for several years knowing they'll get clicks.

This information whiplash from one set of experts and then another set of experts disagreeing with the first set, 24 hours later in the news cycle is becoming more common.

Hopefully those that are vaccinated can move on with their lives, without boosters and without having to vaccinate their young children.
True and everyone knows it at some extent. I worked for a large consulting firm in the past for almost a decade.

I was the bait, indeed I was nearly not touching the projects at all except if the replacement failed it hard and then my employer would send me few days there to fix the mess.

My working time was divided between pre-sales and fireman to save projects from total failure.

IANAL, but I think point 2 is talking about private stuff that is only available to internal people, while point 6 is talking about public stuff that is available to anyone (like AWS).

I think most of it is uncomfortable but reasonable until point 8, at which point I tell them "thanks but no thanks" for the job.

We had a particularly articulate young man in our graduating class that argued that checking the book is ultimately not cheating in the world of professional CS and software development. Rather, it’s considered being responsible. So why should we be taking tests that treat it as anomalous or cheating?

He convinced one professor, possibly two, but if he had any more luck than that, I wasn’t in those classes with him.

Most of what we do is synthesizing facts into knowledge. But I know from copious personal experience that there is a wide grey area between recalling a fact at will and forgetting it exists entirely. I am fairly good at recalling concepts in general terms. Y might be applicable in this case, but I need to check the details to be sure/explain how.

Which is also why I think banning computers from planning meetings is stupid. You want us to agree to do things without being able to spot check any of our hunches that will drastically effect our estimates? That’s a winning plan /s.

I played eve as an undergraduate student, in the holidays. I loved it, particularly when I got to a point when the game paid for itself. I loved the nerdy community, the fact that the people I interacted with on 'ratting' runs in lowsec were, by day, doing cool things like writing Linux kernel code for a living, or mathematically modelling fisheries for the EU. I loved the fact that they had an ODE fluid model of space; that guns had tracking speeds measured in radians per second; and that I could import market data and try to understand it in terms of martingales.

Then, two things happened. One -- it became a job, bordering on an addiction. My corp-mates wanted my mobile number in case our station got sieged. And then, finally, two, we got scammed. Badly. Our CEO basically stole a lot of stuff, and got us all to help carrying it to Jita so he could sell our own equipment and take the cash (long story). That hurt. I knew him -- I thought -- and I just felt stupidly upset that everything we had collaboratively worked on was....gone. I think my inactive character is somewhere without a scanner in wormhole space, and boy, am I pissed.

I now stick to games with stories; games where you can just be the prophesied hero and save the expansive, virtual world you inhibit. It's a lot nicer than being reminded in your escapist, necessary down-time that people, wherever the come from and whatever they do, are people -- and that includes sometimes being an arsehole too

Legitimate democracy can't be undermined by an international currency not controlled be the government. In fact, it can be reinforced by it.

This issue is very similar to free speech: the good it does by making the government unable to silence political opponents far outweights the harm done by extremists and lunatics of all sorts.
i take it you dont use docker :/
Haha. Exactly what I thought. A lot of developers probably don't even know what it means let alone want to learn it.
Imagine you hired a consulting company. You can send them half backed code and they send back a fixed code. You can accept the changes or refuse to use them.

After a while, you realize that one of the member of the consulting team has a extraordinary good memory. He has memorized 1,000,000 digits of pi and e. He remembers whole books of chess endings. He has been fixing your code with whole blocks of 10-20 lines of codes that are equal to GPL code that he has read and involuntary memorized.

He was not aware that he has memorized that, he was not looking at the code, and he was not looking at personal notes. He has just too good memory.

You have already distributed your code. Is your code GPL? Can the owners of the original GPL project sue you?

MIT/BSD have clauses about attribution, so you are probably breaking that, but I suspect most people use MIT/BSD as a polite version of the WTFPL and will not be angry.

And there is also proprietary code with source available, that will also be unhappy.

And there are some weird licenses, most LaTeX packages have some kind of restriction.
Downvotes on HN happen because something you said pisses of certain people, not just because something you said is wrong.

That said, I think you're right, and I don't see what makes Rust particularly suitable for UI work. I'd just do the UI part in web tech.

Hosting code on Github explicitly allows this type of usage (scraping) according to their TOS so I have to ask again - why the sudden complains?

Are we still talking about a shortcoming of the ML model, which very occasionally spits out a few lines of copied code or should we include search engines into this, because they do the exact same thing by design?

robots.txt, for example, has a non-binding, purely advisory character as well and Common Crawl [0] (also used for training GPT-3) publishes a dataset that by definition contains GPL'ed code as well, no matter where it's hosted. So is that off-limits now, too?

right, but what variability? how much? what time period? without labels and numbers, the graph is pretty meaningless in that department. All I know is that something changed, which is not enough information to be at all useful.
I have written some Haskell and I am quite certain, it is more practical for me to use Clojure. I know other people, who did compiler research (! see my points above about academic research) who rewrote the previous more or less exploratory Clojure solution in Haskell for better performance and other positive aspects. These are all good things. I also know about Facebook, Microsoft and other big companies using Haskell to great advantage. But the compiler e.g. is not something commercially applicable it is research, they don't have or want to sell it or make it a service. I also am not sure anybody would be interested to buy it, as they never told us about any practically applicable results (e.g. better parallelized HPC code) which was kind of the point of the research. I might be mistaken though. Anyway, the lecture and the exercises where rather good and even if it was the only thing that semester, it would justify the semester at the university for me.
Why are we constantly surprised when people focus on the only metrics they're judged by?
Some of the most successful engineers I know, got there by migrating over to engineering sales. I'm almost convinced if you are a moderately skilled software engineer, are very good looking, very charismatic, and have maybe a spoonful of general business knowledge, you can pretty much name your salary. They'll stick you in a suit, fly you around with the bizdev guys, and you only have to do anything if the client brings their tech guys to talk. You'll occasionally do some coding: write a few demos, maybe integrate your company's software with some other company's workflow, but mostly smile and talk about architecture, frameworks, blah blah blah. Nice work if you can get it. I was too much of a cynic and critic to make it in such a role, and I have the looks of a toad, so I never bothered.
If you watched the film "Happy Death Day" (if not the lesser sequel) and enjoyed its exploration of a kind-of goofy mashup (Ground Hog Day x Teen Slasher), the same director made a film built on, roughly, a similar concept, just called "Freaky". If you already suspect you might like it, don't read anything and just watch, though you may be able to guess the mash-up from the one-word title. It's fun, and well-made.

I'm struggling to think of much else that I've personally seen, from last year, that wasn't a little too indie or "genre" for me to recommend it to someone whose tastes I don't know—I didn't get much new watched, and mostly caught up on some reputedly-great stuff I'd missed from the prior five years or so (I keep up with a mix of pop junk food films, which I do like, and the "good" stuff, but usually don't have time to watch anywhere near all of either) aside from some fairly taste-specific newer material I watched.

Some other titles I'm seeing, from people I know and trust, for 2020, include: First Cow; The Old Guard; Portrait of a Lady on Fire (technically a 2019 film, but widely available in 2020); Wolfwalkers (animated); Spontaneous; Bacurau; Blow the Man Down. There are lots more, that's just a varied sampling.
FWIW, I don’t know if I’ve read too much Gibson or not Enlight marketing textbooks, but <insert brand> Vodka would be visually attractive to me on a bottle label.

It's deceptive and exploits the interviewers' time in bad faith. That is a clear justification IMO.

Similar but less clear cut whether it's unethical is when people go on 'practice' interviews where they don't have a serious interest in the position.
One, yes. It was a fair amount for a hard lesson IMO. But also keep in mind that these people were extremely smooth, confident, and "professional". It was a technique, they were not improvising.

The only reason you think this is not a common occurrence is because people don't talk about it, very much like women who are sexually harassed are not vocal about being taken advantage of. Hey, now I know how it feels.

I don't talk about it, but I chose to because the top post suggested that somehow the information that you give out is always under your control. It's not, and this sort of scheme/robbery happens ALL the time.
> People who complain that nothing good is made anymore must just be looking at what's advertised heavily

I can't speak for everyone but I think it's hard to find anything 'fun'. The indie films inevitably seem to be deadly serious, whether it's terrible crimes or failing relationships or the inevitably of death. If a viewer wants 'fun' then they're stuck with formulaic superhero blockbusters.

It feels different. Spielberg was fun, Lucas was fun, Hitchcock was fun. Perhaps they were the outliers even during their times, but it seems like all that sense of adventure has been sucked into the big franchises and mangled into these lowest-common-dementor films. The international market wants big explosions and 'clever' comebacks.
Sorry to hear that you couldn't find the problem. Was hoping that I'd get to learn something new

Citation needed. They've raised prices in order to be sustainable, but you're going to need to show some kind of actual evidence of collusion. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We can't just assume conspiracy theories between publicly traded companies here.

And who's talking about 1% margins? You're making that up. Healthy competition usually results in something like 10% margins. You don't need illegal agreements to get that.

Why politics and not practicality? Taking a ton of time and resources (and potentially risking attrition) to migrate a thing that works to a thing that _hopefully_ works often simply doesn't make business sense. It's not a political decision (in the common usage of the word).
This is worth bookmarking and sharing with others (aside from the ads).
Gradient descent is a pretty common algorithm, and I've seen it implemented in everything from JavaScript to c++. I have to say in this case the notation is significantly more distracting than helpful imo. Or to put it another way, the set of people working in the ml field, is both larger and more diverse than the set of people working purely in math. Everyone in the population of people who can both program and understand this type of notation would also be able to understand the less terse but more readable utf8 based text, the inverse is not true.
Press release: "Methane in the Plumes of Saturn's Moon Enceladus: Possible Signs of Life?" https://news.arizona.edu/story/methane-plumes-saturns-moon-e...

Ish. Really depends on the field & journal.

Peer review is mostly a requirement but some have professional editors as well, which is a paid position. Costs for OA journals are almost always borne by those successful at getting through the process which means that any costs are related also to the rate of rejection. For journals groups like Nature, that may mean an OA cost paying ~10-20x the actual cost (plus profit margin) due to a high rejection rate.

Broadly the reason this has stuck around so long is that what publishers are assigning to journals is a vague notion of trust. They are incentivised to keep "high quality" articles in their list as that's what people want to be listed in. The recent discussions around reproducibility tie in with discussions around clickbait news, in that the incentive of citations is not identical to the incentive of quality.

Peer review isn't free to do either despite one part of the labour being free, PeerJ increasing their costs is a good overview of this.

(disclaimer - work for a company (digital science) that's related to publishing in that we analyse and combine the data, and we're owned by a larger publishing house (holtzbrinck) but I have no horse in this game myself)

I think professors should ask themselves if their exam would make a good CAPTCHA. If a machine could solve the exam easier than a human, it's a bad exam.
Not necessarily, depends on the journal.
I find rich IDE features very useful for functional programming because it makes it much easier to track types via hover-over. I agree that lightweight setups are better, but being able to start a single file project with ease isn’t necessarily an indictment of IDE niceties.

This isn't really the reason that they don't give stock options like they do in USA for startups, though. I think it's a little unfair to say that you're taxed at ~45%; as far as I'm aware exercised options are taxed as income at the value they have when you exercise, not at a flat rate like capital gains. Beyond that, companies probably don't really care about giving employees a big tax bill, and you would only get taxed 25% on the capital gains when you sell the stock you've gained from exercising (after some amount of time, I think 1 year). It's fine for early stage startups that have a low valuation, although for later stage startups and established companies it would lead to a larger initial tax bill.

A bigger reason from the startup perspective as to why you don't give options to employees is because you become a voting member of the company and have to sign off on major changes (via a notary). Many startups skirt this issue by giving you "virtual options" which turn into money directly after some exit event, as if you got a bonus, and some startups let you pseudo-exercise by allowing you to put the exercised options into a pool controlled by a member of the board or company.

It's a lot more restricted compared to USA (it would be nice to be able to exercise really early when the company is tiny so your tax bill is low, or do something like an 83B election) but it's not that onerous and there are ways to get around some of the worst of it.
CES was originally a research-based organization, but recently shifted to advocating Approval Voting and trying to get it implemented. (I think they should rename as the Center for Approval Voting.)

The planned max speed for CAHSR is 220 mph, which is faster than TGV or Shinkansen, and well beyond the threshold for "high speed".

Also, nowhere? The initial route is from SJ to Burbank. How is that nowhere? This is absurd.
You are implying that people that use .net are stuck. I would say it is hands-down the best general purpose web programming language and also the goto for programming Windows apps.

Sure I can write stuff in Go or Rust or Python but I don't see that any of those offer anything significantly better than .Net, including the support level, the quality of the IDE and even, God forbid, half-decent performance.

Sure I would choose another language for something that had to be super fast or perhaps headless but otherwise I would choose .Net every time.

Disclaimer, I have professionally used Java, PHP, C, C++ and C# but not Go or Rust.

What constitutes a "regular T-shirt"?

I have t-shirts that are quite thin, but I also have t-shirts that are quite thick. Both I would consider regular t-shirts.

At least for me, undershirts and blended material t-shirts tend to be on the thinner side while graphic t-shirts are usually heavier.

I also have some t-shirts that are ridiculously thin that I think are mostly synthetics but there's no tag so I'm unsure.
Nah, it's very easy to be objective when on a 5 pages homework, one write 5, and the others 0. Or if only one person has compiling code on their machine the day before the project. Of if only one person speak on the conf because the others don't have anything to say.
