Couldn’t this backfire by making a lot more employees feel they should always be evaluating other offers because it’s unknown to them if they’re going to be dismissed at the end of the eval period.
I don't find it that odd. As I'm sure you know, there are fairly large differences in pronunciation. Larger than the differences between European and Latin American Spanish, for example. I read once somewhere that in Brazil, if a Portuguese person is being interviewed on TV (on the news, for example), often times they will add subtitles. I am also learning Portuguese and whenever I search for resources, I make sure they are for the Brazilian variety.
Um, I don't see how that's easier than cannabis.

Cooling my extremities seems to cool the rest of me effectively. Cooling the ambient temperature creates another problem, increasing the ambient temperature for the rest of the world; it's a big problem. However, a car is a small space; I expect the climate impact would be relatively small.

In Sweden companies often do a credit check before allowing you to to buy on invoice or subscribe to services. The credit check will fail to go through if your income lies below a certain limit (this information is gathered from the tax office) or if you have defaulted on a bill in the past leading to the state debt collector ("Kronofogden" [1], translates to "The Crown Bailiff") becoming involved. This leaves a mark on your record ("betalningsanmärkning") which stays there for 3 years after the debt has been paid.

He's wrong Quibi was a bad idea, but he's right with to say they didn't build to iterate -

"It was a bad idea that had no testing ground other than a big-scale investment," Diller said. "Otherwise, it would have slithered around for a while. But it was such a big-scale thing that it lived and died in a millisecond."
How about crowd sourcing, Groupon-style?

For example the audience would vote with their ticket purchases, which would kick in once a threshold had been met (50% of seats filled, etc.).

The cinema itself could market its web/mobile app instead of individual films, or actually both at once.
Interesting! I looked at the demo, and found myself scrolling back and forth to see how the map/text changed. That was a valuable interaction for me.

Would love to see more demos about more popular world events.

The current demo is interesting, but its content sports an "odd" writing style. That is - until the reader realizes this is a translation from ancient Greek.
Can you elaborate more on _why_ you decided to have a kid? :)

I'm definitely in favor of having kids because I'm not sure what sort of end-game a civilization is aiming for if they decide to stop having kids, but I've yet to have a discussion on this topic with a younger native European that actually wants or has kids. The answer is always either "well I want to be able to travel and have fun without caring for a child", or "the world sucks so I don't want to bring a kid into it".

> Great. Now every movie theatre starts doing that. What happens to profit margins?

Why would every movie theater need to do that? That seems like an absurd proposition.

Do I really need to watch older movies in some newer giant theater designed with a special sounds system that the entire theater needs to be certified for if I'm watching a movie that wasn't scored to take advantage of it?

> What happens to profit margins?

I dunno. Why don't you ask the theaters that run old/indie movies either exclusively or during designated time slots once a week or so? They seem to think it's profitable, since they do it.
>For a lot of health and wellness reasons...

I think I missed those. How is drinking lower-ABV beer more healthy than drinking less of the higher-ABV beer?
The gobs of money people will do what they think will make them more money, and based on tragedy of the commons, that’s something that appeals to individual self interest.

That’s why Facebook hand Google are free to use, but they mine data for profit.

That’s why we have shit films for the most part, and mediocre restaurants.

There are rare bubbles of quality where there is consumer demand and habits around that. Coffee where I live is pricey and good. But in other places it can be cheap and crap if that’s more profitable.

Get millions of fussy people to spend thousands on the movies and you could conjure up some great experiences!
When I went to work for Amazon in 2010, I also encountered many internal policies that were very similar to this. I don’t doubt the veracity of this claim one bit.
Anything that substitutes ‘this’ but doesn’t want to put a function into that object.

const {filter} = []
class Foo {
less() {
return filter.call(this, sometest)

There is no way to closure it somehow without (temporarily) modifying an instance of Foo. (The next obvious question is “why” and the answer is “metaprogramming”.)
This is ridiculous, just make a Tinder account and get 100x the eyes with a tenth of the effort.

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for spending quite a lot of time responding to me.

> But your comment is intriguing; I'm mostly struck by the idea that the style of 1950s is so much different from that of 2020s.

I threw the 1950s into my comment because that is post WW2 and pre me - I'm 50 ie off of 1970 and onwards. I perhaps didn't think it through too much. I am a Brit wot went through the private school system in general apart from the six or seven schools in West Germany, London and Manchester before age eight. My upbringing was loosely observant Church of England.

The CofE Book of Common Prayer, Hymnal etc was full of thee and thou and was modernised to you and you around those decades. You still hear "for Thine is the Kingdom" in the Lord's Prayer even today.

Thine, thee and thou (your, you and you) are still in use. You also see what looks like Ye or ye but the letter that looks like Yy is really the letter thorn so ye is really thee.

Shake the spear wrote during the time of the great vowel shift in English which seems to have taken about 300 years. Spelling in his time was pretty random and looks more like hints and indications, rather than "correct". My home town of Yeovil has over sixty documented spellings since around 400CE. A lot of them are seen in those 300 years. I would put Shakey into a different brand of English because I doubt that he and I could have conversed. My mum could make herself completely unintelligible by falling back to her girlhood Devonian dialect from the 40s/50s.

Language is way more interesting and diverse than a WP page can possibly describe. I do love WP - its a cracking project and I've written quite a lot of WM (M not P - I'm a nerd not a clever bloke) pages. However it does fall short sometimes due to some small minded editors who squat on their pages and refuse to allow changes.

Language scholarship used to need a bit of a kicking but I think that is quietly happening over the last 20-30 years. I'm not an expert in any way but I do see signs of broadmindedness and proper scholarship in some of the books I read that have a language component. That said, you then get threads like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27721748 . Search for the terms Chinese and Sanscrit for the exciting bits (or the bits where you quietly close the door and wander off.) There are some decent ideas and comments in there but they are really hard to find.

Sadly, aggressive nationalism is rearing its ugly head in no small way. I'm a Brit and well aware of my nation's past. It seems like everyone wants to piss off the rest of the world a la the worst excesses of the British Empire. My forebears () invented the word jingoism and it is quite awful seeing others not learning the lessons of our past.

Whoops, sorry. Back in the room ... 8)

() I should point out that my documented ancestors include people who identified with all four UK nations and the male line runs back to Germany (Hanover) in around 1750 where the trail runs cold.
No, Samsung Electronics is the parent company of Samsung Semiconductor. I guess the consumer facing website is throwing you off. May I suggest Wikipedia to start instead?
Suppose there is an ice cube with volume 1m^3 in a huge freezer, it melts when the freezer is off and then freezes back when the freezer turns on. Now the volume would be the same, the question is about the thickness. The thinner it gets, the faster it will melt/freeze leading to more variability in climate patterns. (speculation mode off)
When I was interviewing for F# positions, I was getting offers that were ~50% more than what I was getting for C# positions. YMMV of course. The quality of engineering at the F# positions was also obviously higher.
> > It works with your existing build system.

There are build systems such as SBT, Maven, Webpack etc, Other build systems such as Bazel completely replaces them, what earthly offers is integration with them.

That's not called for.

> you're sitting uncomfortably for 10-15 minutes waiting for that temperature to be reached

It doesn't take that long, and you can compromise by hitting yourself with some of the full-power cooling until the cabin reaches a comfortable temperature.

> heat transfer is what makes you feel cool/warm, not temperature, and air flow promotes convection (as well as conduction).

Heat transfer yes, but everywhere on the body. You can't just look at the total.
Obviously there is a performance hit, my point is whether that hit is noteworthy at all. JavaScript VMs are incredibly efficient and have all manner of optimisations that aren’t apparent at first sight. Absent profiling data we can’t know and any best practises are really just shooting in the dark. For example: is Array.prototype.map just as efficient on non-arrays? What does it do internally, do we know it doesn’t create an array anyway?

I thought that they could have had a better go at describing the mechanism (or even how any of the models worked). The actual Nature paper is of course behind a paywall, so i've only read the abstract so far.
I was considering trying this one. It's interesting that they're trying to replicate the burn of alcohol.

I gave up beer because of the calories, but I have since gotten hooked on whiskey. I enjoy the ritual of having a glass or two in the evening but also would like to reduce my alcohol consumption. Alcohol-free liquor is intriguing to me, although it would obviously be better for me to drink water instead.
This is a pretty nice article. CMake is a pretty nice tool and this is a good article for its good parts.

One thing I *hate* with build systems is having to enumerate all of my files. I have a file system. It knows about the files. If I organize my code appropriately (say a lib, inc, and prog directory) the organization says how to build the source code.

I often make my build system support finding all the files in directories, and enumerating them and using them for the build targets.

Some times that scheme bites me when projects get very large, since it can take a while to `find` all the files, but those projects suck to enumerate all the files in too.

Some movies benefit enormously from a shared viewing experience, and the more people the better (to a point). Here's an example of a recent movie which such a moment (there's actually a lot of audience reaction videos to just this singular moment in this movie, which is telling as to how many people feel the same way).[1] This specific example likely wouldn't be quite the same in an older movie where people knew to expect it, but I doubt it would be entirely absent.

I've used this pattern before, but run into issues when you want to write tests for "private" functions (like loadSong() in this example). What I've done is name them like _loadSong and expose them anyways, but that doesn't feel great.

Is there a better way?
A lot of people use "CIA" to mean "everything bad about the government". I've seen people claiming the CIA started the Iraq War, which they were actually opposed to and the admin had to ignore them to get it going.
I imagine that this facilitates synthetic art generated by algorithms. For example, for creating unique NPCs when needed. Neat!
I think it's relative. The technology is progressing, but as you said no one has a timeline. So if you're a company betting billions (and billions) of dollars on getting self-driving out the door in 5 years, and now it's year 5 and you have no timeline... "well, it didn't work"
About the last two links: It's common to have waves that disappear. If you start to administer a drug at the top of the second wave, it will go down and look like it was a success. That's why you need a randomized control group.

About the first one: I saw it a few days ago. They are mixing people that got Ivermectin, people that went to the hospital the previous month and people contacted by phone "Locatel". Mixing groups can cause many problems an unexpected results, a well known case is the Simpson's paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox . To be sure that, you need a randomized control group.

Also, from the article:

> The intervention consisted in providing the ivermectin kit, but also in offering a patients follow up implemented by the Locatel call center. To isolate the effect of the ivermectin kit from the Locatel tracking.

They claim that the can remove the effect of the follow-up calls by phone, but this is one of the classic spots were there are problem. That's the reason why the studies should have a double blind control group, that has an identical treatment to the test group.
What's a forest language? The article doesn't seem to explain it and when looking it up, I only find more stories about Elfdalian.
Both those spellings have letters not actually standard for English. Presumably, it was anglicized.

The umlaut is not a thing for standard English.
I highly recommend you stop using YouTube. It has become more addictive overtime and it will get worse. Shorts is really intense but I think YouTubes recommendations are almost just as addictive. I agree with you that some content is worth keeping tabs on. If you want to break the cycle could replacing going on the website YouTube with an RSS reader that supports subscribing to individual YouTube channels, I use feedbin but I think there are a lot of RSS readers that do this. This eliminates shorts and recommendations which really helped me.
Not exactly. If a large part of an employee’s compensation is in shares (which I assume is true for anyone sufficiently high on the org chart), and moreover the employee tends to sell the shares as soon as they are received, then dividends actually hurt the employee’s bottom line by reducing the share price, whereas buybacks help the employee’s bottom line for the same reason. This is what the author means when they say dividends help shareholders while buybacks help sharesellers.
The whole point is to absolve the actual workers of any type of non-negligible ownership, while simultaneously retaining their excess labor value, and whenever this is questioned point to a homeless person threateningly.

>In those cases, using a VPN which allows you to select the country you would like to be in can be beneficial. Again, unless you expect your data to be magically protected, this is an awesome use-case for a commercial VPN!

Sure, the VPN websites are full of dark patterns and tout non-existent benefits, but in reality I don't really know anyone who uses a VPN except for this exact use case.
AFAIK, Google's g4 is the successor to p4 (perforce), and it uses monotonically increasing number ("CL") instead of hash. From what I can remember, it was one way to specify a build - e.g. this binary was build with CL=12345 (baseline) + cherry picks (e.g. locally checked out) CL's 123450, 123455, 123460 - hence one would always know where it's in the timeline of things based on just this number.
Yes, they ask you if you need one at the time of purchase and if you don't ask for one you don't pay the $19 for one.

Trying to account for what the original BoM would have been with one in the box is an impossible effort and not very useful. At the end of the day all you need to do is decide if the value provided by the product matches the price the company sells it at. If not, don't buy it. For me the brick adds no extra value so I don't have to account for it.

If I needed the brick and the extra $19 pushed me over the edge to not worth it then I would consider another phone.
Arguably that's a "good problem to have". A startup in its early days pretty much requires all its engineers to punch above their weight class. Every company slows down/averages out as once it starts to scale.
Yeesh, it's a long article for a simple thing. They just let you control the implicit this arg to a function call.

fn.call(t, x, y, ...) calls fn(x, y, ...) with t as this.

fn.apply(t, args) is fn.call(t, ...args).

fn.bind(t, x, y, ...) is (...args) => fn.call(t, x, y, ..., ...args).
I'd be really surprised if at least a few of them aren't run for the benefit of state-level actors.

Interesting. What would you say separates a toy toolkit from a “professional” toolkit?
I'm happy it's working for you well. The map changes were more in the line of changing core maps and then having to update every place they were used. IDEs are amenable to this as long as they can figure out the references. Cursive helped some but most of the work was still manual.

My point of reference between typed and untyped code is primarily with Typescript and Javascript since that's 99% of what separates the two. For what it's worth, I do have 21 years of experience and have been lead on my projects for a number of years. As the lead, I get enough benefit from the type annotations that I've told co-workers to just any type anything they can't get working immediately and I'll fix it in code review. It's enough of an overall team velocity increase and easier code reviews that it's a win.

I'm not trying to argue with your experience. Dynamic languages work fine for building products and Clojure is my favorite dynamic language by a significant margin. I'm sure I'll write more Clojure in the future. I'm just trying to explain the benefits since I had the same mindset 15 years ago and now prefer static types. I'll mention that don't particularly like C# or Java and their type systems are not expressive enough for me to prefer over dynamic language.
I liked the proposal that I saw here a while back, that members only see votes of members who joined before they did. So when you join a community, the voting behavior gets "frozen in time".
