People are giving pronunciation tips for other languages in the comments, here are tips for polish. Polish often seems incomprehensible for english speakers because of the sheer amount of consonants though it actually flows quite nicely if you know the rules

'sz', 'cz' - those are equivalent to 'sh' (shop,shell) and 'ch' (chop, check)

'w' - it's a hard 'v' as in 'very', 'vary'. Always, no exceptions and never anything else, it's Ko-v-alski (Kowalski) and Le-v-ando-v-ski (Lewandowski). This is, I think, the most common mistake when reading polish names because english speakers often soften the 'w' to english 'w' as in 'when'/'why'

'Ł or ł' - that's the thing you think of when you see 'w' in english. It's the same sound as in 'when'/'why'/'when'. It's not a weird accent on 'L', for some reason we don't have 'v' in our alphabet and we moved 'v' sound to 'w' and 'w' sound to 'ł'

ó - it's called 'closed u', the same as normal, open u, pronounced as in 'put'/'dude'. The only difference between open and closed 'u' is in writing, none in speaking

y - a vowel, I don't think the sound exists in english but often 'yyyyyy...' in polish is used as 'ummmmm...' in english

ą, ć, ę, ń, ś, ź, ż - good luck ;)

One thing that makes polish a bit easier is that it's pronunciation is 98% consistent, you need to learn the sound of each letter or digraph once and it will never change so every polish person will pronounce even made-up words in the same way because there's only one way (you may write it incorrectly as in the open/closed u above, or ż/rz, but you will read it back correctly so just don't show anyone how you've written it :) )
Ironic how in today's market the applied math dude could easily transition into some higher paying role like ML Engineer or Data Scientist. Not knocking those roles by any means, but the tech world seems ravenous for algorithms.

From my experience, algorithms are easy and the software engineering is hard.

What’s more, many, not all, but many of these algorithm scientists look down on their programmer counterparts. It’s these folks who end up making the algorithm successful for the company.

I don't see this happening. As long as the app that's buggy doesn't have more than 33% market share I doubt the media would write it down as the system as a whole having the bug. Thought I am disappointed by lazy tech articles by otherwise good media regularly.
The AutoPilot simply cannot be significantly safer. If it was on all cars with autopilot enabled and it was on the whole time it could have saved a few lives. Not enough to be statistically significantly safer even if it dropped it to zero.
A div? Narrower? Why? Oh because the text is cut off and scrolls sideways instead of running down the page, even though you can't see a horizontal scrollbar?

Ah, well _that_ width is dictated by some image code at the bottom of the page text. The image was cropped incorrectly because the designer was on vacation and they had to use some random online crop tool during our cloud software outage. We fixed it with some additional markup and inline CSS, but the inline CSS was stripped during an upgrade to the latest inline HTML editor we use here.

Anyway, the graphic was supposed to be a flourished section break that was center-aligned, and instead it is now a white bar that is currently even longer than the anchor text that is also overlapping the background imagery.

If you remove the graphic, be careful because it reveals this...other problem, also with the CSS.

You know you can scroll to the left and right really easily if you hold down shift?

I have very fond memories of a quaint ~100k Netherlands city where most of the commuting happened by bike because everything was within a 20 minutes bike ride. Using a car was simply a hassle. By the time you walk to its parking spot, drive, park, walk to your destination, you are already there on bike.

I live in a North American city. The city is zoned the almost all of the jobs are in downtown, u district and maybe the port. Everywhere else is a job desert. To commute by bike to downtown from within the city limits, forget about the suburbs, is an hour each way. This is unfeasible, other than for young people, usually men, with no kids or other obligations. It's a luxury lifestyle, not the obvious choice.

The problem is not the suburbs. The problem is the downtown. The problem is the expectation that millions of people have to commute in/out the downtown every day.

Break down the downtown. Build small office parks all over the 'suburbs'. Spend real $$$ to help families solve the two-body problem.

Edit. Apparently I feel quite strongly about this. Here's a bit more. Suburbs are build around people wanting a decent living space for their families. The car helps, quite a lot, but it's not like suburbanites wake up on Sunday mornings, hop on their Cars and go to the CarTemple to sing praise and offer their first borns as sacrifice to the CarGod. There is simply a dearth of real alternatives, which mostly boils down to a simple question: Are the jobs anywhere near where people want to live?
I wonder what the rights situation for short wave radio is.
>if it were possible to live to 200 or 300, the population could get out of control pretty fast.

Seems unlikely.

Females generally decline in their ability to create children, males less so, but it is for sure a thing.

People might crank them out like crazy, as we currently do, and the people who don't die in war, accident, disease, or whatever else will just be out there. Hopefully they will also be out there bestowing their considerable wisdom upon their clan and humankind as a whole. One can dream.

>doctors [might not] if that person is of a certain age - because of the impact on the planet.

I don't think so. In this grisly, sort of insane scenario (we have plenty of those, thank you) it usually operates from the other chronological direction.

I was considering if people might wait longer if they had more time to live, but people really like to bang I've noticed. Seems quite unlikely for young adults to pass up. Nonetheless, I don't think it will cause an insane explosion beyond the geometric growth that this thing could do anyhow. However, consider the decline in birth rates of western countries, japan, and now china[0], the numbers simply don't substantiate this hypothesis. I don't know how the math works out wrt population growth, or why this is happening to advanced nations, but it seems like there is the possibility of numbers to plateau for some murky reason.

Plus, the best doctors are most likely gonna be old as hell or under the guidance of one who is. They might be able to see the utility.

FWIW, I think it is a reasonable, if malinformed, question.

There comes a point where you have to be concerned more for the welfare of all the people as a whole than the right of any one specific person to choose whether or not to have the vaccine.

Figure out where that point is, and how many millions of people have to die before we get there. Then you can chart from where we are now to that point.
Did you have to pay for the lisence? Don't these lisence normally cost something in the range of billions of dollars?
I've known those things listed for 15 years now, and they did not help with the wack-a-mole problem. Especially not when working with multiple people.

The only thing I've found to actually work is to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to your actual stylesheet. Any kind of complexity including some core CSS properties (e.g. the C for cascading) I avoid. My second box .foo is only slightly different so I will adapt it based on its parent .bar leads to misery. Eventually you will need .baz .bar .foo. Or .bar .foo:not(.shoot-me) and all of that will be burried in 100+K of code done by people that left the project 2 years ago. Hence wack-a-mole. So I try to do myself a favor and just avoid any kind of CSS logic. The complexity will be moved to the template, so not really gone, but at least you can make a change and not worry about something else breaking. And at the very least, if it gets complicated, you can write a test to check if your html code contains proper classes.
Usually workstations have a chipset that supports server CPUs and ECC RAM and ordinary desktops don't.
So were you able to fix it??
What would be the cost of this though? I thought these things tend to get bid up to the range of billions of dollars
There is a stigma amongst "real programmers" against "web developers". So a "real programmer" will never become adept at CSS because it doesn't appeal to their ego
The OP is a good outline of the most important stuff. This is my favorite comprehensive introduction to flexbox: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

And then follow it up with this one if you want to go a little deeper: https://css-tricks.com/flex-grow-is-weird/

Personally, I think flexbox is the single most versatile and important tool to be familiar with. You can create nearly any layout with it, in such a way that it's very naturally responsive almost by default.

> The vast majority of Chinese people in the world today writing their names using the English alphabet use a system called Pinyin

Pet peeve of man, but roman script is not the 'English alphabet'. Unless you think people write Spanish in 'English'...

If you want to be super pedantic and say you can write pinyin using the subset of the roman alphabet that English uses, I can in turn be even more pedantic and say Pinyin is meant to be written with tone marks.
You agree there is a rapid rise, you just don't agree with the dates: do you have a theory as to why?

Mhm, the last 2 German startups I worked for basically went to the US very quickly after originally targeting the German market and if you're "just" putting up a subsidy company while employing Americans for sales and keeping development where you started it doesn't seem too bad.
I wonder if you can use a rhyme to help people. Sander, rhymes with wander (for Americans). Björk inspired me with her own brilliant rhyming word. I'll leave it up to you to discover what she uses: https://youtu.be/AGtMv-EQp20

For my own name, Ambroos (Dutch as well), I've yet to find a good English rhyming word. I've just settled with telling people to pronounce it as Ambrose. It's better than people turning it into Am-bruce. For TTS I sometimes use Ahmbrohs.
I have never heard of the link to Benadryl, unless they are taking benadryl to "help" with sleep.

In your deepest sleep, there are bursts of brain activity called Slow Wave Oscillations. These have a strong impact on memory consolidation, as well as the clearing of amyloid (beta-amyloid) plaques (think of them like cholesterol in your veins, but amyloids are in your brain).

If you don't get enough deep sleep, and therefore reduce the SWOs, you get a buildup of amyloid plaques.

As we age, we get less deep sleep, less SWOs, you can see where this is going.

It isn't "overactive thoughts" specifically, but again, if you're not getting enough deep sleep due to anxiety I suspect you'd see the same result - but I haven't seen research on that specifically.

However, there is also the issue of us generally having high cortisol levels due to constant fight or flight. There is some research that shows that these high cortisol levels keep our brains in lighter levels of sleep, and therefore reduce deep sleep, making us feel more tired, and damaging our brains. This is connected to the "tired and wired" phenomenon.

It's really a fascinating area.
If you're allowed to call a multi-node setup a "supercomputer", then how about 3 40 machine racks of Xeons where each one is dual-socketed, has 12 DIMMs per socket, and is using 128 GB DIMMs?

3 racks * 40 boxes * 2 sockets * 12 DIMMs per socket * 128 GB = 368640 GB or 360 TB raw. Remove some of that for overhead (kernel, OS gunk, network buffers, whatever code you'd have to run to make it into a cluster), and there's your 256 TB with a bunch left over.

Stuff like this is why I sometimes say that a lot of these startups could be done with "three Xeon racks" if they actually cared about doing it right.

[Note: assumes 2nd generation Xeons (Skylakes), with 24 DIMMs. Ice Lake = more/bigger memory, fewer actual machines.]
Or, conversely, drought based insufficient water for cooling leading to a shutdown (ideally) or meltdown.

Not just API compatibility. To maintain ABI compatibility as well, at this point they are working with a fork of a really old gcc version that still implements this particular C++ ABI[1].

Native Chinese speaker here.

I tried to tell the difference between "q" and "ch" here by pronouncing them. As the other comment noted, "ch" is actually a valid pinyin as well, so they are definitely different.

My observation is that for "q" your tongue tip is closer to your teeth and for "ch" your tongue tip is somewhere in the middle of the mouth. Hope that helps.
I'm baffled that you were able to serve up such an eloquent slice of pain without even mentioning !important?
The difference is that people actually need to get around, and not in the "addicted to nicotine" kind of way either.

Being anti smoking worked because there was no need for a replacement, but we can't feasibly just remove cars workout replacing them with something, some other mode of transportation. Until that other mode exists, and is workable in the specific area, being anti-car doesn't make sense..
Yeah, I don't understand this one either. One of the first few names in this doc too.
I paid something like $79/year to register steve.org.uk via network solutions. My memory is that I struggled for a while in registering it, and I had to find a local fax machine to send some kind of "proof" to them too.
What language anyone uses that's older than a couple of years doesn't have terrible shoddy baggage in at least someone's opinion? I have the same opinion about node.js/npm, and Java. My opinion doesn't make anyone stop using those languages.

Stroustrup quipped "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses." PHP is the first kind. Like every language and tool before it that came with a low barrier to entry it led to a proliferation of bad code. My friends who work in ML/data science make the same complaints about Python -- it's easy to get something to work but the code quality -- ugh. And in a few years lots of that code will face the "upgrade and break it or keep it and cross our fingers" point that so much legacy PHP is at already.
After reading up on Posits I'm convinced we would be better off if we switched to them wholesale: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs6120/2019fa/blog/posits...

Also known as "pronouncing Latin alphabet vowels as in Latin" :)

I like how English managed to offset for his relatively simple grammar by totally destroying its spelling. The whole fact that things like "spelling bees" can exist was very hard to grasp to me as a kid watching stuff dubbed in Italian.

Seven years old me was always very confused by why the kids in TV shows were rewarded for knowing how to spell stuff, which is something every second grader can do in Italy for any arbitrary word. In Italian you just write things the way you hear them, and there's an almost 1:1 strong correspondence between written and spoken language. If you don't know how to write something, you also don't know how to say it.
My point was that the thing the Dell PC has to do with California is that those 2 chips were designed here.
Sure. I agree.

But crime is measured by individuals relatively. The cities were very safe until the summer riots and the defund the police nonsense. Now crime is very clearly increasing despite the initial persistent denial of this obvious fact by certain politicians.

Regardless of what the stats say, anyone with sense realizes this will drive people away from cities.

Yes they are descending into chaos in the only way that matters... Relatively.

Just today, my pregnant wife and daughter couldn't use our local public restroom because a junkie was shooting up. These sorts of interactions didn't even happen a year and a half ago. Now they're common. Surely you can see how this using to end if we keep up the denial that this is a problem by resting on our laurels.
I can't for the life of me find it, but years ago I read that the 1970's had more #1 hits in minor keys than any other decade Billboard tallied. As a child of the late 60's early 70's, it certainly feels like sad songs evaporated over the years. I was too old to enjoy grunge, so I'm not sure if that counted, but it definitely seems like songs were moodier and sadder in my childhood. Funny if it turns out that everyone thinks this regardless of decade!
What should I say? Why those people think they need to write a tutorial? After all those "AI" GS can't figure out which one is good content and which one is trying to sell. Web has become a sad place. Where morons can have a voice and which are presented to others as good "content". Much of this would not continue to exist if there was no money to make.
Everyone dreams, you just don't remember your dreams. Though we're interested in REM, it isn't our focus atm...and yes, you dream in non-REM sleep, but those sorts of dreams are different.

REM (dream sleep) is thought to be connected to resolving emotional stresses. I haven't seen any research on the reduction of REM sleep and the impact. Sorry.
This is very reasonable. But I wonder if there is a word (in any language) for the pointless pleasure of saying a foreign word in the foreign language pronunciation.

And for the pleasure of observing someone mistakenly do so. How many Pauls build a Les Paul?

For my part, even my two syllable first name can be hard for Anglophones, though they are usually very eager to learn how to say it (people are usually very kind). I Postel principle the shit out of it, anyway.
Node.js is more or less the new PHP so it makes sense.
I personally think that most of the effort put into making these minor improvements don't come close to addressing the massive systemic problems with urban planning today. It's a bit frustrating seeing people make the argument that the systemic solutions are too difficult so we shouldn't try them.

Yes, "g" and "ng" both involve the back of your tongue contacting the roof of your mouth. (Technically, that area of the roof of your mouth is the "velum", and they are called "velar" consonants.)

The difference is that, with "g", the flow of air is out from your mouth (and the "g" interrupts that flow, which is why a "g" sound cannot be held), whereas with "ng", the flow of air is out from your nose (which is why a "ng" sound can be held indefinitely).
We're just looking at FDA atm. We don't have to get approval, but we're looking at registering as a medical device (Class 1, maybe Class 2).

Do you have any experience with that process?

We're implementing existing research, with a bit of our own spin on it. My co-founder and I both come from CSIRO (Australia's Science and Technology Org), so our trial is a combination of measuring that we've implemented the science correctly, it's having the impact we want/expect, and we can prove it.

This isn't a medical trial, but we are following regular research protocols.

I can almost assure you that poor people would love to shop at their local downtown if they could but right now with the lack of accessible public transportation and cheap housing near downtowns, shopping at big box stores is the best they can get.

Cars are a requirement for living in modern cities if you're poor (with more money you can afford to live closer to work and public transportation). That fact alone is extremely hostile to poor people because it add 100s of dollars to their monthly bills in car payments, maintenance, and insurance.
Yes, but the women athletes are under the impression they participate in a sports competition, not an erotica show.
How often am I doing it? Not very. But when there's a WHERE foo IN(a,b,c,...) query that has an arbitrary list as input? Could be any number of parameters in there (although I think most SQL drivers start complaining in the early quadruple digits).

That's only on the 32 bit version, and even there they also use GCC 8.
Maybe I am wrong, but I would assume that the most sensible place to start with is the MDN Web Docs[0] in this case instead of looking for blog posts.

Throwing out blanket statements is dangerous for new comers, which seems to be the target audience of this article according to its title. For example, collapsing margin isn't always bad and unpredictable, it just seems that way if you didn't take the time to understand the fundamentals behind and go for "what works".

That's not too different to telling CS students to not worry about learning the memory and time complexities of different algorithms and just use [insert "best" algorithm] because it works most of the time.

I've been mentoring a couple of junior programmers for a couple of years and I have seen the kind of junk tutorials and online misinformation they find. Some of it is useful because it shows so many bad ideas and implementations -- like studying a plane crash to find out what went wrong.

I wrote an article about this back in 2007, regarding Javascript examples in an O'Reilly book -- a source I used to recommend because of the quality of their writing and editing (I no longer have that opinion).
