That's fine if they don't want to explain their statements. It's just frustrating when I ask for an explanation and get downvoted for asking.

Maybe I'm just posting really unpopular stuff recently, because I've noticed 2-3x the downvotes without explanations the past week as compared to normal.
Were you optimizing over the knots as well? Otherwise I can't see why this would be disallowed using either forward or reverse-mode AD. An infinitesimal perturbation of beta will not cause t * exp(-beta^T x) to cross a knot, so the whole thing is smooth. (And, with B-splines the derivatives are continuous from piece to piece anyways.) But in general I agree--a good spline implementation I something I miss the most when moving from scipy.interpolate to jax.scipy. Given that the SciPy implementation is mostly F77 code written before I was born, I do not see this situation resolving itself anytime soon.
I'm afraid I don't have any articles to direct you to. I can give you a little detail of how they do it with RAM. DRAM is just a huge array of cells. The array itself is made up of repeated sections of a block. These blocks are independently wired and have on-die logic for testing (simple memory check). The blocks which pass testing are configured by blowing fuses so they're connected to the normal input/output logic, and the broken ones have fuses blown to disconnect them from the power rails.

They slightly overbudget the number of blocks when designing. This way if a few blocks are faulty they still have a working RAM chip. If a whole bunch of blocks aren't working, they can still sell it as a half- or quarter-capacity chip. A 8, 16 and 32 gigabit RAM chip in the same process from the same manufacturer may well have the same die inside, with different fuses blown.

This isn't new; it's been done since at least the 1980s. It's my understanding the same thing is done with cache and cores and even execution units on modern processors, but I would assume with a great deal more complexity.
Just increasing lifespans alone would have lots of effects, but they wouldn't be happening in a vacuum. Once we have that type of technology, there's going to be other variables at play.

For instance, I think we'll see close to 100% technological unemployment before we can extend human lifespans by 200 years. In that type of environment, most humans would be effectively retired.

Even if we have less than 100% technological unemployment, birth rates are generally declining, so there's lots of ways that could interact with increased longevity.

Forgive my poor C++, but has_value() sounds like a bool, and empty() sounds like a bool. Why wouldn't "bool1 & bool2" work correctly?

How does this stack up against Stripe or other platforms? What will the all-in fee be for credit card sales?
More often they reveal poor intellect or hyperactive autocomplete.
Doing it to the US is ballsy, but I bet you could have gotten away with this for quite some time against less major actors. In fact I question why someone would use this against just US diplomats in such a low stakes situation. I would have saved this weapon for when it would have made a difference.
Is it unusual because of weather systems or because of plate tectonics (rocks get pushed into the mantle and melted down and new ones emerge later)?
To be honest, it's miles better than reddit so I can't really complain.
That number matters for herd immunity, but it's basically unknowable, it's likely that puts the US above 70%.

You're missing the point. For two people who just started, without transparency they could've been paid differently irrespective of their qualifications or nonexistence performance at their role.

Furthermore even if there are discrepancies in pay and performance without transparency you wouldn't know anyway. My question was in the context of the other post - in the context of your post it's the same question except with respect to performance.

So, are you against pay transparency, or not? You say you're capable of receiving and transmitting, but ultimately you aren't receiving the truth, only what is told to you - which may or may not be the same.
> What we currently do on SellApp, is block purchases coming from VPN's/proxies

That's basically a non-starter for me as I need to give all potential users a good UX.
I had been considering resubbing and trying out The Burining Crusade in WOW, but then I found Final Fantasy XIV. I've played many FF games over the years. My cousins played FFXI but I was too young to play at the time so I never got to. I love MMOs and for me there is nothing like the excitement of playing a good MMO with friends. It's just nice to play a game whose leadership makes the player base feel as if they are important. Obviously we can never know what is actually going on behind Square Enix's doors but Yoshi-P makes me believe the things he says are true at least.

I'm tired of playing games whose companies are actively hostile to the players (and to be fair after the whole Artifact debacle I'm starting to feel this way about Valve too).

When I was younger I never considered myself someone who would be playing older games (early 2010s and older) instead of the latest ones. I used to be so excited for the new releases. But a game without microtranscactions, little to know DLC and a good modding scene has become more important to me than the newest stuff. It's honestly been disheartening as a gamer to have lost my enthusiasm for the newer stuff. But maybe part of that is just getting older and busier as well.

On the bright side my hardware is plenty powerful for the games I play, which is great considering the silicone shortage and all.

> I hope these individuals will be able to find good work elsewhere when blizzard inevitably ousts them. California should be fining them into the ground, but given Blizzards response they've calculated out how much it'll cost and figured it's cheaper to do this.

Nah, I think the tone of their response shows that they think that a PR strategy based in rolling the dice on getting culture-war attachment and hoping that the upcoming recall succeeds before the case is resolved, resulting in an Administration from the faction whose rhetoric they are mirroring, who might then be inclined to dismiss the case.

Since the PR strategy doesn't really constrain their substantive legal strategy, and there is some chance of that PR strategy actually working (though it seems remote), its maybe not a bad idea, ignoring moral and ethical considerations.

My argument is that Twitter is 100% complicit and aware of what person B does, as well as the consequences of it (in this case, indirectly murdering someone). This phenomenon of ruining multiple people's lives in this fashion is also almost entirely localized to Twitter.

This is why I believe Twitter should be forcibly shut down. Their entire business model depends on them memory holing the atrocities its users commit.

The parent specifically said "I'm not (and don't ever expect to be) paid the same as other equally qualified engineers on my team."

I understand your point, even if I think it's a little narrow, but the original comment seemed to apply that there was no point in even trying to achieve equal pay. That just totally baffles me.

I think some of the UK computers I've never seen in person would be fun:

- The Acorn BBC system sounds like a very rich environment for an 8-bit of its era.
- The Jupiter Ace that ran FORTH instead of BASIC.
Because a very high percentage of programmer types (of whatever sort of title) genuinely believe that they are well above average, and thus that performance-based pay would advantage them over others.

This is, of course, statistically impossible to be true for everyone who believes it.

I'd probably agree with that. Firing should be for extreme negligence, or sustained underperformance.
In my opinion the downfall of Blizzard started even earlier in 2004. Ever since World of Warcraft their writing and worldbuilding has stumbled off a cliff. StarCraft's storyline was fantastic and its world spectacularly gritty. The weird whirring mechano-head of the adjutants and bodily entombed dragoons are just some examples of the kooky minds working at the studio at that time.

With the cartoonish push that World of Warcraft presaged I saw the wider ambitions to appeal to everyone which washed out the magic for me. Blizzard wasn't alone in this but it broke my heart as a kid who grew up on Sabriel and The Book of the New Sun and Baldur's Gate and EverQuest to watch all those game companies lurch forward to a blank-eyed glossed future.

"In practice this doesn't matter"

How so? Even at 100 employees you might only have 5 tech leads. So the population of the subgroups matter.

"The point is to allow for more transparency, not perfect transparency."

What can we actually do with that transparency if it doesn't have the attributes necessary for meaningful comparison?
Those stats will need to be changed as they are from the 'old' project on which SellApp was based/rebuilt (toffee.com), but they are indeed correct. That platform didn't convert particularly well, heh.

That sounds like the lobster seller was charged under the notoriously broad Lacy Act, which I have heard most often in arguments that is is impossible to be cognizant of everything that is illegal in the US, since this law roughly imports foreign laws. My understanding is it makes it a federal crime to trade in wildlife or plants that are illegal under the laws of a state, a Native American tribe, or any foreign law.

But it is limited to trade of plants and animals, not meant as a general extradition agreement or to import _all_ foreign laws.

Tobacco tax does not make or break any budget, at least not where I live.
It is also taxed with the intention of reducing sales, which in turn reduces tax income. This is also by large the result.
What if they say "Only a small portion of the females were harassed in our company! They are not broadly and uniformly harassed! How dare you say we have a constant sexual harassment problem!"

I don't think this logic makes sense. For things that shouldn't happen in the first place, just a few cases speak a lot.
exactly! this is why our Republican (not the party) system of government is so great, different states can try different things and other states can learn from each other, both in what to do, what not to do, and even "well, that worked for that state, but I don't think it'll work well for us." it's a neat system, and one that I feel is increasingly underappreciated, as everyone wants all legislation to be done at the federal level.
If you want to be efficient, you want a level of centralisation so you're make sure they can work with maximum efficiency (and therefore at maximum capacity, which you can scale up as there is more demand or more doses).

The biggest problem though is the temperature at which the doses must be stored. Pfeizer's is like -70C°. That's cold, and one does not simply carry a portable freezer to the super-market or subway station. Other vaccines are easier to manage, though.
Even if it were true, there's no contradiction. More granular roles could be created or more scrutiny could be had in promotions.

Unless you're overwhelming overpaid irrespective of your actual ability, no employee would suffer any downsides from pay transparency. If you (not you specifically, but any reader) disagree feel free to present a scenario.
If I had to guess, the second expression depends on the first being true. So if `has_value()` is false, perhaps `key_data_->label()` is undefined behavior.
You can use `and` and its siblings instead of && and similar in C++11.
Most people here, and in other boards, will try to convince you that it hurts readability because 'that‘s how we always did it' (read I‘m used to it and don‘t like change).

Yeah, no thank you. I'll stick with Postgres.
This reminds me of Go DB Ledger https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger
Publish and Perish (2020)
Dereferencing via key_label_-> has undefined behavior when !key_label_.has_value(), so the compiler treats that case the same as if key_label_.has_value(). Or to put it another way, the compiler reasons that key_label_ must have had a value (since you dereferenced it), and thus optimizes out the check for `has_value()` (since clearly it was unnecessary).
It actually works! I've found Google Alerts to be extremely noisy and alert me for content about certain people.

Alias only notifies you if the person actually participated/appeared on it vs. being covered.

We're also deeply indexing folks and their content so you'll be able to do conditional alerts.

Example: "Notify only me when Elon talks about battery prices" or "Notify me when Stéphane Bancel (Moderna CEO) talks about Delta Variant".

Hope that makes sense!
Sorry, but Google Alerts fucking blow.

Let's say I want to "subscribe" to Malcom Gladwell, how do I get all his brand new ORIGINAL content, without it Google Alerts pulling every time he is quoted or mentioned?

I had to unsubscribe from Google Alerts on my own name because it was overwhelming junk, and I wouldn't qualify as even a Z List Internet Personality.
That so sounds like an error I would make and not some superDev working at the Googs making around 4x the amount of money I make.

Reckless people abusing substances is not a sound argumment against the substances.

The more companies that do this, the faster the playing field will get a bit more levelled between places like the Bay Area vs everywhere else.

Both for companies (not having to pay increasingly ridiculously high salaries to compete for Bay Area talent, due to more and more talent appearing elsewhere) and for employees (not having to move to the Bay Area or sacrifice part of their salary/leave money on the table).
No, but MySQL 8 does at least have atomic DDL now, as well as instant DDL for some cases (like adding a column).

Unless the law mandates the release of a service manual & software, the law is lip service. I don't mind if the service manual & software are released after a few years. But they need to be proofed against companies going belly up - like file compileable & modifiable code with FCC FTC or similar agencies to be released after n years.
Yeah, for this to be exactly the same the assumption would be that adherence to a certain dogma is a strict requirement for continued participation in society. Oh wait...
FWIW I didn't mean to say that Kraken was wash trading USDT per se, but that likely other actors are 'holding the peg' at Kraken too by trading back and forth. Maybe aggressive arbitrage would be a better definition?

I agree you could probably clear 10s of millions via USDT:USD pair, but I'm almost 100% confident you could not actually redeem them.

> You can drink a bit too much with 18 during a year and nicely recover. With marijuana, you smoke a bit too much during a year and you are good for life.

That's contrary to my understanding. I think you're overestimating the damage of one and underestimating the damage of the other. If you've underlying conditions susceptible to drinking or to smoking, indulgence in either can have dire consequences. For what it's worth, smoking for days straight is much much better in all ways than drinking for days straight.

I felt like this was a case of that. i.e. imposter syndrome is the narrow zone of lack-of-self-confidence-in-the-face-of-counteracting-evidence. i.e. you score 40 points a game but you don't believe you're actually a good basketball player.

My lack of confidence at playing recreational basketball, on the other hand, is fairly well-founded. It does have a basis and I will probably succeed better if I focus on building my game. I'm bottlenecking on skill.

The 40-point-guy, on the other hand, is not going to get any better if he focuses on improving his game. He's bottlenecking on confidence.

On the gripping hand, though, you're right in that this case seems to have just been a prescriptivist speaking and personally I usually find terminology-discussions boring, so I'm horrified to have found myself having participated in one on the side of prolonging. I'll leave the previous bit in just because it's a thought I already wrote.
It is extremely likely that the Spanish Navy or Intelligence Agency has an whole array of underwater listening devices, due to the Strait of Gibraltar.

So if you're coming from Morocco with a homemade sub (probably woefully unoptimized for being quiet), I'm gonna assume that those listening will pick up your signature.
When I look at a lot of things that are done with reflection in C# I personally would much prefer the preprocessor and macros. Things that could be done in a type safe manner with a macro in a few lines become way more complex when using reflection.
It's not even a particularly memorable quote. If it was a good moment then one is better served linking to a clip from the film or at least a gif of the sequence.
I don't see why you think this rebuts the previous comment. "We're mad that the company reduced the female's butt size" doesn't really refute "the community cares about female butt size [presumably to ogle large butts]"... in fact, it kind of reinforces that viewpoint.

For what it's worth, I looked through that subreddit's discussion of the article of this HN thread, and the dominant strain of opinions tended to be either "woke company is a bunch of hypocrites, ha ha ha" or "why are you believing what women say." I didn't see the other thread in question, but there definitely seems to be a very strong anti-woke-ism and misogynistic strain in general to the subreddit.
For those not into Area 51 weapons (What's Russia's equivalent?), it's worth thinking about all those articles about being poor and poverty and the effects on the brain.
