This... Is why we can't have nice things.

This is why every researcher should be asking themselves "is the world ready for this yet?" Why I'm increasingly convinced that the academic can no longer be content to play the role of a "neutral articulator or enumerator of techné" and must strive to think out what applications they are enabling.

Let me enumerate the diplomatic and national security highlights of the coming years.

China trains AI to fight. U.S. has to respond in kind, but more slowly or in secret due to outcry on autonomous weapons research and actually having to deal with those loathsome constituents views on how and what things get done when.

China manages to plow ahead in AI and starts enumerating the space creating new possibilities within the Overton window. Depending on how the world takes it, and to what degree they manage to minimize or otherwise manage to skew the M.A.D equation to favor them in addition to continued success at managing to control or otherwise defuse internal strife, normal diplomatic measures may begin to lose efficacy in terms of the international community's braking influence, setting the stage for "hard times" or a reignition of Cold War era status quo where research of questionable constructiveness becomes easier to swallow in the name of National Security, bloating defense spending, and starving everything else.

This is all assuming there isn't some major disaster that proves near impossible to effectively contain.

Interesting times ahead.
Since you bring up NYC, LA, Philly, Baltimore is top 3 in list of total violent crimes whereas the other cities top out at 24 for DC, 25 for Philly, 32 for LA, and 59 for NYC. So Baltimore is in fact drastically different from NYC/LA/DC/Philly. You only proved my point.

> I don't buy the theory that someone else being well off makes me badly off

You mean the theory of...mathematics? More money in one place necessarily means less money in another.

If I sell a product for 100€ but only pay my worker 20€ to make it, I'm becoming rich. If my worker wants to buy that product, it costs them 5x their salary, but only costs me 1.4x. If all my CEO friends do the same for their products, the workers are becoming poor because of us becoming rich.

Now let's stop trying to be rich. Let's lower the margins and sell the product for 40€. Now it's 2x my salary (marginally worse for me), but also only 2x my worker's salary (much better for them). Let's say all of us CEOs do that. By not being rich, we've allowed our workers to be less poor.
Vipassana is not like a week at a spa.

No ten-day meditation retreat is for beginners. I had been meditating daily for ten years before I ever did a seven-day retreat.

You certainly don't need a ten-day retreat. Even a one-day retreat is rather extreme, for a beginner. A two-hour session, starting with instruction, and ending with 30 minutes of practice, is a reasonable way to approach Vipassana as a beginner.
Re: "popular narrative", I think this is just unfamiliarity with the source material. The unintentionally-disastrous fire management policies of the 1900s have been widely known since at least the Yellowstone Fire of 1988 catapulted forest fires into the public eye: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_fires_of_1988#Fire...

The problem is that nobody wants to acknowledge that fire is a necessary and constructive part of the ecosystem. So they build their homes in wildfire zones and support policies that suppress fires until the pot boils over and the fire turns from constructive to utterly destructive.
I wonder if politicians should be required to share their portfolios in real time. Then the rest of us could buy index funds based on their trading habits.
The athletes certainly want to participate. Athletes have a very limited time in which to be at their peak. The Olympics is the top international competition for many sports, and is literally a lifelong dream. Quite a few would be too old come 2024; it would be time for the next set of athletes to get their turn.

I don't know if the athletes themselves were really high up in the list of things to be considered, but I'm sure they're all very happy to be allowed to compete. It won't be quite the same as the thing they dreamed of, but I suspect some are happier to have it be less of a carnival.
> a decent idea ruined by the lawyers.

Or, more cynically, a publicity stunt, facilitated by lawyers. A lot of "look, you can use our patents!" things fall under this umbrella; they're devised in such a way that the company gets some publicity, but no-one can realistically use the patents.

ac charging “infrastructure” is merely a plug + a fancy breaker switch. It’s cheap and simple. ac is abundant, so adding a plug is easy. Dc on the other hand requires lots of hardware.
Automating Incarceration
Everything is a tradeoff. I guess it helps if you think about the costs of what you're doing. Yes you will get information, but you will still be spending your time on these, and time is a cost. Also, it is evident that people with information addiction (which often means smartphone addiction) have serious problems focusing and lot of other mental issues caused by their behavior. Read about these, try to find out if something is happening to you. If you want some horror stories about the extreme cases, read reddit's r/nosurf.

Perhaps with all the time you spent reading barely-useful news you could have finished that certain book you've been postponing? Maybe you could have worked out more? Maybe you could have practiced that new skill? Maybe stopping doomscrolling will help your concentration?

Think about the tradeoffs you're doing.
This happened at Heroku too.
Highlighting the cost of opportunity of hiring these students doesn't make the irrelevance problem of a lot of modern research any better. I'd rather teach students to work on practical or fundamental problems and change the incentive system to do real, long-term research projects rather than pumping papers to boost up the advisor's resume and the institutional numbers.

While you mention price tag, the student gets only a small part of all the funding. Most of the money goes to the institution, not to mention the advisor's summer salary.
Snopes "This is not true because we twisted the english language into a pretzel to an extent that a Pravda writer would be proud", that snopes?
That's a bit hard to square with the fact that so much religiously-motivated hate towards Muslims comes from other self-identified Muslims. If there's some of the overlap you mention, it must be quite limited indeed.
Not to mention state cultural differences. The US as a whole is not one unified set. NYC citizens probably have better access to healthcare than Alaskans. But clumping their collective data together is not a fair assessment. Thats like comparing the Netherlands to Bulgaria. Its very obvious who would have a better system.
And I'm sure she'll be completely impartial when it comes to legislation/regulation regarding these companies from which she and her husband have become so wealthy. To quote Biden, "c'mon man".
That's no freedom at all, the same freedom of a dog on a leash. You can do what you want as long I'm pleased.
You could define __slots__ on the namedtuple that would not use a hashtable for lookups.
The copyright owner/holder can do whatever they want. That's essentially how you're able to have things like Gitlab Enterprise or CockroachDB Enterprise use their open source base in an extended not-open-source premium product.

It does require you manage outside contributions to the open source part carefully and get approval for those contributions to land in the not-open-source part.
Stop gaslighting. You know full well what the intention was.

Been using them for about a decade with no issues. Highly recommend them. I will also happily pay them the ~$14 for the State Income tax filing as well (Federal is free).
Then-professor Francesca Viola used her institutional email to login to Disqus. This proved to be extremely problematic for her institution, Temple University.

A professor naturally speaks with the authority of their corresponding institution, whether they or the institution likes it that way. A professor is also often in a position of leadership as they supervise the fate of students.
We're not going to make any of these hard choices. We're going to keep assuming some nameless person in the future will come up with a way to solve these problems without any sacrifice from us because we're under the collective delusion that the future is always better than the past. Instead, the future is going to be grim because we're refusing to do anything active here in the present to make the future better.
Intel libraries whitelist their own CPUs for using certain extension instruction sets, instead of using the relevant CPU ID feature flag for that feature as their own documentation tells you to.
Legit Critique:

"This is exactly where cargo cult programming (CCP henceforth – it would have been funny to have another C in there, before the P) stems from."

Cargo Cult Computer Programming CCCP is the joke that's been around longer than I've been programming and I started in '81

You know you're old when there's middle aged people born after the USSR no longer existed. Like when I was young adult in the Army (although not for much longer), the USSR was not a LARP or nostalgia, it was like, an active thing.
I think the advantage here is that instead of centralizing the relationships between all types in one place, these relationships can be defined anywhere, including external packages. This makes composition of additional types extremely easy, even when multiple people are working on the project.
Trungpa's presentation of Vipassana is quite different from most other versions; he has it emerging spontaneously from Samatha ('calm abiding').
> And this also implies that her lawsuit might actually have some merit.

How so? It's a defamation suit so the criteria are pretty clear and as far as I'm aware whether it was revenge or not doesn't have any bearing.
To the extent physics is objective and observable and computer engineering is subjective and ephemeral, I would argue the relative value of skills as a lecturer/practitioner are almost perfectly inverted in the two disciplines.
I wish I could nap. For me, a nap turns one normal day into two short days - a bright productive one and a dark groggy one. I've even tried the coffee-then-20-minute-nap method to no avail.
> Yet, somewhere six or seven years into my practice, whatever progress I was making petered out. I was experiencing a growing sense of bodily agitation and began self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. Looking back, it was also during this time period that I had my first dissociative experiences, in which elements of my sense of self became separated in a way that impaired my ability to function.

Lots of good discussion in this thread on how meditation can lead to problems, particularly intensive sessions like retreats, but I think it's important to highlight this paragraph from the article.

If we accepted that meditation can induce alterered states of consciousness, like various medications can also do, it seems dangerous to wantonly start mixing such things without rhyme or reason. Dissociation seems almost inevitable.
I switch to espresso a couple years ago and never looked back. A double shot latte in the AM is enough to keep me going and I don’t need a full pot. If I’m especially tired I’ll do a straight espresso shot in the afternoon.
Why do you care so much about LOC of third party code?
That's really tough, and I'm sorry you had to deal with it.

I was lucky in that I was dealing (in both cases where I've run similar flows to this) with above-board exec teams who wanted the best quality information I could give them - even assuming that estimates are just assumptions - even if it meant having some tough conversations about scope or headcount.
Does the linked license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ really mean you cannot read it, and then write a piece of software that implements it?

My reading of the license implies it covers _the document_, like a book or a song could be licensed that you cannot modify and redistribute the results, or maybe not redistribute at all: not what you make with the information you gain from reading it.

https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpre... makes me think the license is about _copyright_, not about what you make with the document. The page also has the explanation about "Explanations of NC do not modify the CC license".

Even if the NC clarification somehow held true, then I still don't see how it would prevent someone from writing e.g. a MIT-licensed library implementing the interface (the non-commercial use bit) and then someone else just takes it and uses it for whatever, within the limitations of the MIT license.
netflix worked fine for my last time i checked on firefox. unless something changed in the last few months it's fine
It works, but it requires tons of precious metals to get to work and we could never recover the amount of water or even the metals themselves to make it efficient. Do-able, just going to cost money like no tomorrow. Literally the definition of throwing money at the problem. When you have a uber rich oil state with plenty of cash to burn, it'll work until they run out of cash or desire.
Yes, that would be quite straightforward - just connect a repo and you're good to go as long as you put it into a container

That said, if your entire project or most of it is a Wordrpess or Drupal site, you could be better off by using a specialised hosting like Kinsta or WP Engine. They provide lots of nice extras specifically for WP, whereas Digger is more for building SaaS applications with a bunch of backend services and webapps.
Likely people have a mental association between ARs and crime not because of frequency but severity[1].

Haven't checked DX12 yet, but both D3D11 and Metal have a small number of "tiers" with guaranteed feature sets, which basically correspond to GPU generations. Usually you pick the lowest tier you can afford and write your code against that feature set.

In D3D11, the "tier" is basically the minor version number (D3D11.1, .2, etc...), while in Metal you have this handy reference:

Both solutions prevent the "combinatorial explosion" of OpenGL or Vulkan extensions.
Durov's post from his Telegram channel (https://t.me/durov):

The phones of 50,000 individuals, including human rights activists and journalists, have been targeted by surveillance tools that were used by numerous governments. These tools can hack any iOS and Android phone, and there is no way to protect your device from it. It doesn't matter which apps you use, because the system is breached on a deeper level.

According to the Snowden revelations from 2013, both Apple and Google are part of the global surveillance program that implies that these companies have to, among other things, implement backdoors into their mobile operating systems. These backdoors, usually disguised as security bugs, allow US agencies to access information on any smartphone in the world.

The problem with such backdoors is that they are never exclusive to just one party. Anybody can exploit them. So if a US security agency can hack an iOS or Android phone, any other organization that uncovers the backdoors can do the same. Unsurprisingly, this is exactly what has been taking place: an Israeli company called NSO Group has been selling access to the spying tools that allowed third parties to hack tens of thousands of phones.

Since at least 2018, I have been aware that one of my phone numbers was included in a list of potential targets of such surveillance tools (although a source from the NSO Group denies it). Personally, I wasn't worried: since 2011, when I was still living in Russia, I’ve got used to assuming that all my phones were compromised. Anyone who gains access to my private data will be utterly disappointed – they will have to go through thousands of concept designs for Telegram features and millions of messages related to our product development process. They won't find any important information there.

However, these surveillance tools are also used against people far more prominent than me. For example, they were employed to spy on 14 heads of state. The existence of backdoors in crucial infrastructure and software creates a huge challenge for humanity. That's why I have been calling upon the governments of the world to start acting against the Apple-Google duopoly in the smartphone market and to force them to open their closed ecosystems and allow for more competition.

So far, even though the current market monopolization increases costs and impedes privacy and freedom of speech of billions, government officials have been very slow to act. I hope the news that they themselves have been targeted by these surveillance tools will prompt politicians to change their minds.
Yes, same here! I got my first Mac with 7.5.3. It was a Performa 5200CD. Good times :)
> Germany has health insurances, both private and public but there is not one unified system really.

The "public" is private anyway, as the Krankenkassen are all private companies (although strictly regulated by BMG).

But yes, there's concept of public (statutory) and private (voluntary) insurance plans.

On top of that, as you said, most (all?) Arztpraxen are also private entities. Same goes for hospitals (I guess excluding places like universities and Bundeswehr).
> you know that everything you've worked so hard for can be taken away instantly.

How so? You can invest & buy property with an H1B, none of it is lost.

US incomes are higher than in Europe allowing SWE to save more - if you need to leave you can sell and take that money back home or to Europe
Yeah, I think more time is wasted in confusion and arguing about style than is saved in keyboard strokes.

There's definitely a class of
persnickety coders out there though. As a technical leader within a growing organization, sometimes the bulk of my time spent in a code review turns into style guide enforcement. It can get old arguing about the subtle merits of someone's preferred but style violating syntax over and over, especially when all I care about is maintaining a standard of consistency.

Thanks for bringing out that link, I had had that nagging question about how specific Intel performance libraries were to Intel hardware. At least in this case, it seems not much.
Regardless of returns, buying TSLA leap options is a terrible look and breaks down trust in institutions. How am I supposed to look at that and just trust that she isn’t influencing policy with her options trades in mind?

It’s not even about evidence of illegal actions, she’s a public official and part of her job is to build trust with the public.

The Soviet system injured a number of people quite seriously. It gave Sigmund Jahn a permanent spinal injury in 1978, and in 1969 it broke Boris Voylnov's teeth. Water landings weren't without incident, but I don't think there were ever any injuries as severe as those.
Okay I’m going to be honest I loved it and especially the coffee house background with some music really makes me feel like I’m in a coffee house and with some light rain In the background is really soothing

Really like it. The issue I've had with these products in the past (I've paid for an app or two on Google Play) is that they can't afford the bandwidth once the popularity increases, or, they just can't get new music, since this type of royalty free stuff usually requires artists to submit it themselves.

How is this one going to be different? I'd love to find something I can stick with.
My question is whether the practice of firing people for what they say or do in their life outside work while off duty is a good idea in general? Is that something we want to condone?

In some cases the answer is obviously yes. Off-duty cops committing crimes, not good. A politician or judge might never be fully off-duty.

Where is the line for professors? Naked pics with their spouse? Orgies? Racist tweets? Racist comments at a friend’s barbecue? Being a spy for China?

What about for regular employees. Fired when they speak against the company? When they complain about toxic work environment? Or just if they say something racist? What if they’re asian and say a racist joke at a party? Or an ardent feminist with edgy views against men? How about an angry father who got his kids taken away and now says mean things about women?

If we normalize these firings for saying things we don’t like, others will want to normalize them for things we do like.
The license is for the published version available publicly only. There's no reason why it can't be separately licensed to an individual/entity to grant commercial use on a case by case basis. This is no different from negotiating a contract - the license defines the terms under which you are allowed to use the provided software.
Most certainly! We are planning to integrate with all software packages that our customers are using to enable really efficient operations for them. We have a few Next Gen DOORS customers, as well as other requirements tracking tools. I love the suggestions!

In addition, we can comment and actively redline running procedures. If you want me to show you I'd be happy to. You can email me at laura@epsilon3.io and in addition I'll make a small tutorial and link it here when complete.
I worked at an American Chinese restaurant that had fantastic oolong tea. Whenever I bought it from Asian supermarkets it was literally the worst quality tea I’ve ever tasted, below the Lipton tea that’s for making sweet tea.
Anyone with enough power and influence can impact stock options, and everyone has some information not available to the public. For example, Kanye West could buy calls on Uggs, then go out to lunch wearing some Uggs, then sell the calls after it hits the tabloids. Laws applying only to politicians would not stop anyone else from influencing stocks, and would only restrict the types of people choosing to become politicians, reducing the quality of politicians by causing people with better options not to bother.

My sense is that this is one of those feel-good things, like setting politician salaries to a low level, which doesn't actually do anything to improve the quality of government.
Because he could veto it.
After the 30-day trial expires, BBEdit becomes what used to be a separate application from the same developers called TextWrangler. TextWrangler was my first code editor because my dad had it installed on the family iMac for its sophisticated grep capabilities.
