Yes, not a lot of changes. I've been digging through the commit logs to see if this project is attracting new developers. There's a little bit but most of it is trivial stuff. So, not a lot yet.

As a long term Elasticsearch user, I don't like their move away from OSS. I think its long term bad for them and it puts me on the spot when I have to consult my customers on what to use. And yes, I've already had a few conversations on this topic. People seem to prefer OSS and this whole thing makes them default to opensearch/aws.

It's hard arguing with that. Whatever Elastic says, it's a closed source license now and it largely cuts them off from external contributions. At least, I don't tend to make closed source contributions for free. Which is a shame.

Whether Amazon can turn this project in what it claims to be already: a thriving oss community, remains to be seen. As of yet it's basically a largely unmodified fork with not a whole lot of feature work happening (if any at all). Turning that around is going to require some skilled external contributors to join. At least, I don't see the current team achieving a whole lot as it appears to be rather small and most of their work so far has been tinkering with the build system and editing some licensing texts.

The good news is that 7.10.2 was a fine version. The bad news is that this fork is not getting the fixes, improvements, and performance work that mainline Elasticsearch is getting. Also, Elasticsearch 8.x at some point will become a thing and is likely to have some improvements. It's actually been unusually long since the last major release. Before 7.0 they had major releases every year. Of course, moving to new versions of Lucene will be a some non trivial work in terms of implementing and testing the changes. At some point the forks will diverge or opensearch will simply fall behind. The latter seems to be happening. Elasticsearch. 7.11-7.13 have added a few new features that opensearch won't have.

They forked the code but not the developer community. Not yet at least. That could just be a matter of time. IMHO Elastic should kill this fork by rolling back their license changes. There's nothing to backport from this that is worth keeping as far as I can see. So, not a big change technically. Not too late to admit they are simply wrong. They seem to have dug in on this so probably not going to happen. But one can hope.
It is a fantastic board. If it was cheaper (and had 16MB variants), I'd use it exlcusively. But regular ESP32 boards are 3-4€ on Aliexpress, so I can't justify it.
My first launch on PH, need your help folks
> Anyway if I can figure it out it certainly can be done and there's probably a book about how to do it.

It's been done. There are many, many books about it. They're not explicitly about teaching social skills though. They're about a specific subgoal of socialising that is common and deeply felt, which generalises to more or less all of social life.

You're not a sociopath, you're autistic. Welcome to the club.
No it means both sides have serious ideological flaws and that their prototypical stances sometimes blur as a result.

For instance, the constitution ensures both the right to vote and the right to bear arms. The liberal stance is that voter ID infringes on rights, but gun ID does not. And the GOP stance is the reverse. Both are logically inconsistent, just different dog whistle topics.

You can feel however you want to about guns and the 2A, but yours intellectually dishonest to argue in favor of ID for one and not the other from a legal perspective.

An independent voter might say that showing ID for both, two very important acts, is not onerous and is an acceptable burden. But most people won’t argue that due to partisan allegiances.
The problem is that it’s easy to play games on what ‘same or equal’ position means - many terrible employers in the US will do them too.
If you are going down the "all a country needs is X" rabbit hole you'd start with the most important of all things a country has to provide: Stability. Everything else follows from that, even technology.
The gap isn't from the actual leave, the gap is from the threat of future leave.

Young women don't get promoted before they have kids and that hurts their future earnings.

To answer the second question, I think the children would benefit.

I am, however, pretty nonplussed about the idea of forcing people to... do anything really. I'm with you on that.

I'm personally gonna share it 50% and looking super forward to it. There's a reason most kids prefer their mothers over their fathers. They were there for them. I want to be there for my kids.
Do people really believe there’s no relationship between experience and competency?
One of the fascination results of modern DNA research is that we have a lot more knowledge about the evolutionary relations between species. All mammals must have descended from a common ancestor and even though we probably will never find fossils of it, we can make reasonable estimates on when it lived. The relation between a species and its ancestor species generally forms a tree [0] that is called the Tree of Life.

It is not easy to display this tree because it is huge. This website has an elegant solution by using fractals. It makes it easy to zoom in or out on a group of organisms.

[0] There are some groups that cause problems, e.g. because they have horizontal gene transfer between different species, but for most higher organisms a tree is a good description.
That's the reason one should ALWAYS attend to warnings and even treat them as errors eg. by fixing them
When my daughter was born, I was entitled to 2 weeks. I had saved 2 weeks of holiday so I could take a total of 4 weeks, but wasn't allowed to do so, because the company couldn't function without me for that long.

Two, four weeks, or whatever it is really isn't enough time, your partner needs support and you have a new child to look after.

Like you, the pandemic left us spending the first year+ at home with our daughter and it has been a benefit to each of us.
Nope. I am the same.

This game is one I play on sight. The world could be imploding. Do not care.

So great. Everything feels present, and all done at 1Mhz on my favorite 8bit CPU.

Trivia: The Williams sound board is a 6800 running at .8'ish Mhz, connected to a DAC. It plays ONE sound at a time. It can be interrupted, and is all the time in Defender.

Defender has a sound priority system that has always fascinated me. You get one sound, and that team made it count to the max. The player gets the sounds that matter most, when they matter most and it all just flows.

Exemplary!
Yes. And I use a lot of them that other providers still write. What do you mean by “still?” Did someone write an article about how REST sucks or is broken?
You have to put things into historical context to make sense of them. How we see the legacy of John Lennon in 2021 is not necessarily how he saw his work in the 70s. Do a search for Beatles songs that John didn't like and you'll find a long list of fan favorites that he couldn't stand.

When he was done with the Beatles he tried to do more avant guarde work with Yoko Ono. To him that was the future. But the result was commercial and critical failure. His Plastic Ono Band album did OK but Yoko's received universal disdain. A few records later and a few more failed attempts to get people to like Yoko's music and John Lennon essentially retired. He didn't want to make albums by himself.

Now, keep in mind that "retired" is relative. The Beatles released 21 albums in 10 years. Not recording an album in a couple of years was an eternity for John.

The linked article talks about how John thought that Rock Lobster by the B52s was similar to Yoko's Why. He thought that society had finally caught up and was ready for the music that he wanted to make with Yoko Ono.

The result was Double Fantasy which received bad initial reviews. Sales of the album skyrocketed but only after John was murdered. And to this day when people listen to the album they listen to John's more conventional songs but skip Yoko's more "kooky" music.

That's the crux of my comment. John assumed that people didn't like their "kooky" music not because it was bad but because people weren't ready for it in 1970. And he thought that people would be ready for it in 1980. And he was wrong. People didn't mind "kooky" music as evidenced by the success of bands like the B52s. They just didn't like his.

No one remembers John Lennon for the "kooky" music that he made with Yoko Ono. They remember John Lennon for Come Together and Imagine.
The pay gap is a political tool, it doesn't have any scientific basis. There are way too many variables to account for.
There are studies finding women below 30s earn more then men in the same age bracket. I still don't think there is a pay gap in any direction, every case is individual.

There are several trends the can explain why there are differences in the aggregates (old generations had a more traditional family/work split, old rich men are over represented in the market, more families could survive on one salary in the past, young women have better qualifications than young men, women don't start a family before 30 these days) and there are also tons of biological reasons that make men and women different.

On the subject of paternity leave; while I was grateful to have extra paid time off (it does push your pay per day up), I didn't really enjoy my paternity leave and ended up using it as a work 3 days per week for a long time.

A mandatory paternity solution sounds like a terrible idea for the men who don't want it and it just reduces men's freedom for the increase of a meaningless metric.
I´m less worried by vaccine safety than the vaccine strategy. You don´t normally vaccinate in an ongoing pandemic, usually you vaccinate when a virus is not in circulation. By vaccinating in this way, in an already infected population, you add selection pressure that creates an advantage for more contagious vaccine-resistant strains. This is the real danger in my opinion, but of course side effects of this new vaccine technology can emerge. We´ve already seen Pfizers vaccine downgraded to 64% efficacy in Israel due to the Delta-variant, so vaccine resistant mutations are a real thing.

There´s one scientist that predicted this development perfectly, Geert Vanden Bosschen. He´s the only one so far that has made correct predictions in this pandemic. He said that mass-vaccinating during ongoing pandemic will result in rising numbers of cases among fully vaccinated people a couple of months after vaccination, caused by selective pressure leading to vaccine resistant mutations dominating. He also warns strongly against vaccinating children. But he praises the new vaccine technology, so he´s not antivaxx.
I'm not sure if it's the age but all the coders over 50 that i've met are grumpy and pessimists.

You can choose the type of company and the value it provides... plenty of companies that produce meaningful software products.
When you're on paternity leave you'll spend a lot of time pushing a pram around the neighbourhood, going to small parks, and gardens.

Soon enough you'll find you've got a whole bunch of other parents to talk to, as you try to stop your child from eating all the sand in the sandbox at your local park.

Later still when you take your child to pre-school, daycare, or similar, you'll also find more parents to hang around with. Especially if your child/children wants to play with particular kids in the evening/weekend.

TLDR; Even if you're a workaholic and all your friends were previously from work, parenting will give you a lot of new friends.

That's only an option if you actually still have the foot. If you didn't notice it coming off, you won't have it and you won't be able to reattach it with tape. At that point you can either:

1. hunt around on AliExpress or Amazon for a third-party replacement

2. see if Apple are able to give you a "real" one for a not unreasonable price
BTW, there are replacement rubber feet sold on Amazon.

This is getting a lot of hate here, but having a well defined career track is useful. So many people want to know what they need to do to advance in their career, yet for some reason think all they need to do is be good at closing tickets. Well, that’s not job at the upper levels. Yes, you do need an opportunity to demonstrate the skills, but it’s surprising how many people in my experience don’t understand that the job changes.

“Oh! But we have a flat organization”, you (cough Netflix cough) say. No you don’t. You have a shadow hierarchy. It’s there. The rubrics still exist. The “politics” and hurt feelings still exist. It’s just that the reasons are kept hidden, perhaps to make promotions more arbitrary and capricious. Does having an actual career make promotions and performance reviews objective? Of course not. Does it make promotions and performance reviews more aligned across the company? Yeah it does.

This is as much a tool for management, as it is for ICs.

What good HL tools are there that write them for you? PostgREST comes to mind.
There is indeed, but careful with words. "Experience" meaning "practice" is the only thing that will make you competent. "Experience" meaning "time passed while on payroll at an org" is not.

One is easier to measure than the other.
Why could it not somehow hold in all reference frames?

Moral of the story is right at the start. Get better insurance. If he had comprehensive insurance the repair would have cost him nothing.
Lovely. My favorite is by Klaus Wirth. One passage:

> Occasionally he used a long “reading pipe”, until once, deep in thought, he bumped it into a door and hurt himself in the throat. Then he switched to cigarettes.
I took a chance and tried this device on myself. as a means of calming the nerves and regular monitoring is what you need
> pool of workers looking for jobs on a channel

It really feels like the design was driven by this one example only.
I'm not so sure that fathers need to "catch up", but I guess it depends on the child/family. I know I was always better at calming our child, mostly because it was bloody difficult to learn what he liked and how to help in all the various situations.

My wife never really learned that, she'd give him boobs and he'd feed/sleep. That worked perfectly for the first six-ten months, and then it didn't.

I'd never had those to fall back on, and was always the one who took over when he was being "difficult". Then again I was also the one that pushed him in his pram for a walk around the block at 2AM, in sub-zero temperatures, to help him fall back to sleep. They were hell on my sleeping patterns, but also some of the best early memories I have. Talking and singing as the snow fell .. magical.
> IMO, we draw the line based on effectiveness, not idealized morality.

A huge chunk of judicial history is about just this issue. It’s a lot more effective to just throw all accused in jail without a trial: you’re likely to get all the accused (effective) but you’re also likely to round up as many innocent people (immoral).

Society came together and decided that the morality of locking up an innocent person was so obscene that the prosecution would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone was guilty.

It’s ok for everyone to come together and admit we have a tragedy of commons that needs collective action, but I think this incredible willingness to hand-wave individual responsibility is really concerning these days.
Thank you for the feedback, updated website is already up and running.
> And a third of Britons aged between 18 and 34, the key demographic for the app, are more than just worried: they believe TikTok would hand over their data on request from China.

I guess that the hype around this 'recommendation algorithm' the TikTok fanatics keep talking about isn't any different to how any other social network operates since the app needs to send its data 'somewhere' for it to work for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if TikTok screws their users again [0] over this, just like how every other social media company has done as well. At this time, they need to make themselves 'presentable' for their IPO soon, so any concerns and findings are quickly 'denied'.

There is undefined behaviour and there is Undefined Behaviour.

The Undefined Behaviour that is plaguing C is when the spec says that this or that condition can never happen and thus the compiler can freely assume it can never happen (and emit code under that assumption) and when a programmer actually writes a program that violates those (often subtle) rules the compiler authors say "screw you! You shouldn't have written such program, haven't you read the specs?".

Now imagine a language whose spec isn't full of such traps, but ensures compiler don't surprise authors (e.g. by deleting code that checks for invariants and other things that plague people working with languages with Undefined Behaviour).

Now also imagine that such language is a system language that needs to strike a tradeoff between safety and performance and imagine that the choice falls in letting memory corruption to happen in some edge cases.

Such language (which exists) is devoid of Undefined Behaviour, than goodness, but the programs it emits can still exhibit undefined behaviour, i.e. once a memory corruption occurs you can of really predict what the program will do (since the details depend on the dynamic content of the memory which may change between one run to the next).

Those two kinds of undefined behaviour are not at all the same. With the latter you can still debug such a program. The compiler didn't conspire against you. You can step through the code (even backwards in a reverse debugger) and deterministically analyze what happens after the memory is corrupted in one way or another.

With C/C++'s Undefined Behaviour your source program has been butchered, it's no longer what you wrote. Surely you can debug the resulting machine code (which will behave deterministically) but it's not your code, it's allowed to depart from what you wrote in significant ways. And that's not a bug, it won't be fixed by compiler authors, and that's what makes it endlessly frustrating.

But that said, many programming languages can produce programs that at runtime hit a circumstance after which you cannot really reason about it. It's just that the compiler is not actively conspiring against you to make it even harder than what it should be.

EDIT: since the term undefined behaviour is so overshadowed by Undefined Behavior, people sought alternative names, with tho goal of reassuring users that this is not Undefined Behaviour we're talking about.

A common alternative name for that is "unsafe" (safe as in memory safety)
We're are already handicapping white males with "positive discrimination" (which has to be the worst oxymoron ever written in any law).

Ask any recruiter or whoever is doing hiring at your company.

Eg. In the UK it's illegal to discriminate by gender / race, unless it's done in favour of a category that is deemed unrepresented.

We routinely had recruiters bringing only female / non-white candidates to make our quota look good.
How about out of league ( on either side ) actors ? Is quantisation helpful ?
> The downside is everyone becomes a cog in the machine, with nobody being treated like an individual with their own strengths, weaknesses, needs, fears, and aspirations.

Being treated as a fungible human resource is as much a corporate culture issue, as it is a management issue. The creation of explicit levels and expectations is immaterial here. I’d argue the lack of levels, removes rewards and further dehumanizes individuals by literally treating them all the same.
There´s only one reason for taking the vaxx, to protect yourself from severe disease. You should not take it because you want restrictions to end, it has been clear for a long time that the restrictions will not go away. If you´re young and healthy, and maybe even already had covid, you benefit as much from the vaccine as you do from a tinfoil hat.

Mine too, but I gave up years ago.

Have gone as far as a quick hand assembly on paper, then type the bytes in and run them. All that ever happened is numbers got moved around, maybe a few computed, and that's it. And doing that exercise did move some people, who relapsed later on.

Politcal feuds if you read between the lines of statements like "The project included novel “cultural” approaches too, being 100% developers and very code-focused, looking more like the Microsoft of today and hopefully tomorrow, than it did the Microsoft of 8 years ago when the project began.".

Joe Duffy has similar remarks on his posts and post morten sessions done about the project.

Nothing I said implied that authorities will always be able to get away with what they believe to be the best thing for the population.
As an older user of SAS (from 1990) and R (from 1998), this may finally push academia away from SAS.

Locally, we continue to use SAS for manipulation of linked health and population registers. The combination of the SAS data step, SQL and macros is powerful for more complex data. However, most of our researchers use R or Stata for data analysis.

That said, younger researchers often prefer to use dplyr or data.table in R for the data management. One challenge is that those researchers often can not read the legacy SAS code - hence they do not understand how to handle the corner cases. This may be a symptom that data management documentation is often poor in academia.

For data analysis of time-to-event data, Python and Julia both lag behind R, Stata and, to an extent, SAS. I would be happy to move to Julia, but some of the basic modelling tools (e.g. safe prediction for formulae with splines) are currently lacking.
Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but the Espressif Dev-Kit boards are 2.5 * bigger than the TinyPICO (not 1 cm) and have no onboard battery management - something that most ESP32 users want - and no extra PSRAM. They also have no low current power paths so are terrible at deep sleep. But they are designed as reference boards, not as user facing project boards.

TinyPICO has 4MB Flash and 4MB extra PSRAM on top of the 520k SRAM plus the rest.
