> rsync ... incurring many high-latency round trips.

If I remember correctly, the rsync protocol is actually very nearly optimal in terms of minimising round trips.
No shock at all this is how the game works! You slap out a float, ideally small enough so that the supply and demand inbalance pushes the price up.

So 3.7mil shares were issued at $102, and opened at $140, so that is a 'cost' to the company of $140 million + underwriting fees etc (probably another $30mil + the 700k shares they have options on at issue price). Additionally insiders dumped out 1.4mil shares at the issue price.

Now execs + VC's have a 'liquid' market to sell or short against without paying the high costs for goldmans to price you up a private hedge which is the whole point of an IPO.

Its litterally writting into the offering - 'The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility and to create a public market for our Class A common stock.'
I remember hearing an academic rail and rant against Duolingo at a prominent global online learning conference a few year ago.

What struck me was the negativity in the face of a simple problem being solved - people want to learn to speak a language before they learn to read and write it for many valid reasons.

Conversational fluency is a thing that has existed for a very long time.

Duolingos superpower is that it can create beginners in languages new to them, at scale, something which most systems to date can’t do as well.

It’s true a phone might not give you a full education, but we do search for plenty of things every day to learn to use knowledge.

The esteemed academic did not present any alternatives to this desire among learners to start to learn a new language.. and instead went back to the theory of learning language through reading and writing first.

Working on hard problems isn’t always a rewarding path. I’ve seen plenty of very senior engineers get sucked into difficult problems with no additional resourcing only to be all but forgotten by the rest of the team.

I agree that working on easy problems is not worth your time though
So great and standalone, this should be added to ATMs, vending machines and the like :)

Pins vs passwords are not something I have seen much discussion on in the software security space. The only general criticism I have heard of pins is that people tend to pick dates when asked to use a random 4-6 digit sequence, which makes them often trivial to guess. Personally I have always leaned towards the now classic xkcd method of combining 3 random words, which can often lead towards funny and memorable passwords with great length. The only major drawback is that they take long time to type, is a pain with touch keyboards, and are prone to miss clicks in low light conditions.

Despite the wording of the question I think it's pretty clear the real intention is to get their tests working. And even then, the top answers do in fact directly answer the question as asked.
Reddit is always going to be better. Niche subs are where actual experts who've tried entire ranges of products hang out, amazon is where one random guy bought their first crappy product and left a 5 star review because they don't actually know whether what they bought is good or not.
I think a lot of people miss this point.

Conversational literacy is a huge step on its own.
I stand corrected, it seems that the over 60s are advised to have AZ, and under 60s Pfizer, but that's just a recommendation:

Nope. Google will still give you dumb reviews pages full of “Check price on Amazon” affiliate links. What works for me is adding “site:reddit.com” or “forum” to search.

A quarter million US dollars.

Of course the hospital never expects to receive this amount of money. Either they will negotiate it down for uninsured patients, or they will accept a lesser amount from the insurance company.

Insurance companies like this over representation of costs because:

1. If you have a percentage copay (edit: "coinsurance"), say 10%, they will tell you to pay $25k because it's 10%, but they might only pay $75k. In this example you clearly paid 25% but they tell you it's only 10%.

2. A quarter million dollars is terrifying and you better not ever lose your insurance.
Yes, I could agree with you there. I'm not going to defend the stickler moderators on there (just look how they shut down the interesting comments on the top answer).

Not really, the next major road is some 4 km from me. I chose my place of residence with regard to that (and I actually mostly travel by train/bus).

Also, if electric cars become a thing, you can at least hope that within 10-15 years, environmental damage from major roads will diminish.

There are definitely more effective methods, just mostly not free and more time demanding.

I have a mission to get B1 French, tried Duolingo with some basic level for cca 6 months in past year. You get into the bubble that you think you are progressing but reality is, its a very narrow and not-so-useful progress if whole language knowledge is your goal - mostly passive skills and certain type of language usage that goes along with the type of exercises in Duolingo.

If you want real language knowledge, as OP mentions speaking is the hardest part (active & rapid usage of all that you know), and Duolingo doesn't prepare you for this, at all. If your goal is purely passive reading newspapers/articles, then its helpful a bit, but I would still use at least 2-3 other methods if you are even a bit serious about it.

Try talking to people after using just Duolingo, heck try writing an official letter on whatever topic. You will not just struggle, you will fail if you don't use any external help.

I've made tremendous progress with zoom meetings with professional teacher over shorter period of time. But its because I made it a priority and dedicated my time to it. And it costs quite a bit (doesn't have to, but my case is quite specific).
Mechanized agriculture is not at all like other forms of mass production. It comes with an environmental debt that must be repaid, or the land becomes barren. To call it more efficient is to ignore this debt, which we can get away with until all the fertile land is gone.

People romanticize small farms because they're stuck in crowded cities working industrial rat race jobs that are meaningless in the large scheme of things. Is it any wonder that the idea of space, beautiful natural surroundings and a hand in creating something really meaningful (and what is more meaningful than food?) would lead there?
I've come to look at remote/onsite preference as a sort of dietary restriction/preference: some people's personality/temperament absolutely makes remote 10x better. For some people it's a tasteless/flavorless existence. Both can be right. The problem in a company setting is that we're all 'eating' off the same menu. So, my guess is longer-term companies will sort out to remote-only, onsite-only or light-hybrid (sort of like 'Vegan Fridays' at the cafeteria...)
actually tpm 2.0 can build a secure communication channel to send the key to the cpu and thus makes that a unlikely attack. of course there are many more attack vectors, but this possible one can be prevented with a correct communication channel.

It depends on your deployment setup? Or the frequency of dataset changes?

I check-in a one-line change and CI/CD kicks off a docker build and push. A multi gigabyte binary is pushed to AWS ECR every time. I hardly notice. One benefit is the consistency. Small change. Pushed. Large change. Pushed. Dataset. Pushed. New OS, new code, new lib, new data all the same.

Maybe it doesn’t scale to frequent updates? If you are streaming me data, I can’t update my image every second..
As an Australian, and a Victorian, this article is inflammatory US-centric crap.

The Australian state of Victoria, which has had some of the harshest lockdowns, has a bill of rights, and has had for some 15 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_Charter_of_Human_Rig...

Unlike the United States, Australia does not so universally place individual freedom on an unassailable pedestal, to be placed above all things at all times; instead, some of us actually have some concept of social duty and obligation, and an appreciation that our actions affect others around us.

Rights have corresponding duties; my freedoms come with a duty to protect others, and I am happy to do so. How controversial, to be willing to make personal sacrifice for the greater good of the nation and its people.

This article does raise some valid concerns about freedom in Australia - the raiding of press offices, and attempts at backdooring encryption. But while I find those an affront to freedom, I will gladly wear a mask and stay indoors so that other people won't suffer and die a horrible death from a miserable fuck of a virus.

Australians did not protest against lockdowns; selfish idiots who happen to be Australian did.

[edit: Also, we Victorians are now out of lockdown, because a quick, hard lockdown got the outbreak under control. The article seems to imply our freedoms are somehow restricted because we chose to NOT DIE by preventing the spread of the virus. Unbelievable.]
Anyone who has ever spent any significant amount of time in any hospital knows just how crazy & broken the system is. It's absolute madness. Sometimes it seems like the worse part comes in the months after you get out when random bills start coming and other random bills end up in collections for no apparent reason.

I see at the bottom of this article they "are creating a charity to help bring awareness to the issue, to help sick children and their families, and to try improve the system in whatever way we can... we can use all the help with can get."

The people who are against universal healthcare usually pitch it as an argument for "choice", as if I'm going to compare prices when I have a ruptured appendix. It's also usually couched in anti-government sentiment, where they draw comparisons to "lines at the DMV", as if other countries with universal healthcare have people dying while waiting in line for care, something that also doesn't happen.

The point is that SO is actually less about the person asking a question. That is only one person.

But people look for already asked questions by searching for them. And I don't think that there are many things that are more frustrating, then finding a questions that describes your problem X perfectly and it has only answers to Y.
That's why I think people should pay for their negative externalities - it doesn't matter if someone emits a tonne of CO2 if they pay enough to fund more clean energy (for example).

Some kind of cap and trade system would allow us to specify exactly how much emissions we are OK with each year, and let's people who want to emit more do so if they pay for it.
https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO20...

This is the patent application, as far as I can tell. And as others have noted, this is obviously a political stunt—the article makes that clear as well.

Frustratingly, it doesn't seem like there's anything interesting or useful happening in the actual patent. It would not surprise me to find that they had been rejected in part because the idea seems to be either literally impossible to implement or basically uninteresting, depending on your interpretation.

Also, as a non-lawyer, this stunt requires talking out of both sides of one's mouth. They necessarily assert that they have the authority to speak on behalf of the machine listed as the inventor in order to assign ownership of the patent, so why not just assert oneself as the inventor?
A patent fee should keep this behaviour to a minimum...

Patents already have quite a big fee, but perhaps it should be made larger to prevent this kind of abuse. If the large fee prevents inventors, then perhaps some scheme along the lines of 'The fee is $50 for the first 5 inventions, then $100k per patent after that" might be suitable.
It's a good sign that you are working alone with success. You are autonomous, you can solve problems and learn by yourself, you are communicating with non-developers easily, and you are delivering value to the company. You're in the right path, congrats.

About your question, IMHO the first stages of the developer career should be in a team. Why? Because it's the easiest (and fastests) way to learn: from senior colleagues (or team leader if (s)he programs as well). Working with others can help you get what you need to learn, what you don't like about the profession, etc. Later, when you are a senior, you could work from home, or alone without much issues.

Once said that, if I were you, I'd stay one year in the company (because some non-sensical HR filters) and will start interviewing. Start taking interviews, but (and this is important) don't feel discouraged if you don't pass them. Most times you are not a good fit because a new candidate pops up, the position is removed, you don't "click" with HR, etc. IMO only 5-10% of the interviews are failed because of the candidate. Now, every interview you have you'll learn something about the company, the business and about yourself. Keep in mind that a job can take 20 interviews with different companies, so don't feel preassured (you have already a job), and take this as a little "adventure".

The old FSI language courses are very effective. And free and in the public domain.

FSI combines hundreds of pages of print materials with hundreds of verbal audio drills. I used it to supplement a French course in college and my professor asked me how I advanced so quickly. The course materials were doing very little for the rest of the class because they didn't force natural language thinking. FSI grammar drills make you think on your feet in conversations with different roles and grammatical rules.

I had also tried Rosetta and Pimsleur at the time. Years later I tried Duolingo for another language. To me they all feel like fun toys, but only toys compared to FSI. If I wanted to learn another language, I'd check if it had an FSI course.

It might be a personal thing but I find the word kernel confusing both in the OS context and in linear algebra, statistics, ML. I find it very nondescriptive in each of those cases. It's almost like "kernel" doesn't invoke anything in my brain and I have to pause and think about it every time.
This is a bit ridiculous to be honest. Especially since the study confirmed that consoles are actually responsible for 66% of the estimated power consumption but get away with that.

High end systems are often more power hungry, but the tech didn't change much. I don't know the efficiency curve of modern power supplies and it should fit your system, but the power is only consumed when needed.

If that is a problem, you need to also ban all large TV.
When learning a new language, one uses a lot of tools.

Duolingo is just another tool at your disposal.

Nobody is claiming that any single tool - much less Duolingo - will make you proficient in a language.

If Dolingo is claiming this, that would be false advertisement / scamming.
> Now I wonder, why did GOO break such a useful thing?

As far as I understand it, they want to catch synonyms and different tenses for the words.

But they do a remarkably shit job. nginx and apache2 aren't synonyms, but completely different tools for the same job. Yet apache2 instructions appeared as a match when I've used "nginx" in my query (the word apache2 was in bold in result snippet).
1. Yes but there have been the issues with blood clotting
2. I've lost count of the total number of lockdowns across all states but there have been two lengthy ones so far, one in Victoria and one in New South Wales.
3. Plenty. Problem is we've been quarantining international return travellers in hotels close to the cities and it's virtually impossible to not have that leak into the community.

Single payer healthcare systems in Europe were introduced a long time ago. Back then, politics was different, not least because of an imminent threat of the Soviet Bloc just around the corner and a need to answer it by "carrot", too, not just "stick".

They are now status quo, but in another version of history, where such systems would have to be introduced today, I am not certain whether they could clear the political obstacles, much like the U.S.

Your comment misses the point. There are two reasons why this bill is so high: 1. Some doctors and some hospitals are make tremendous amount of money - hospital revenue is about $1T and doctor revenue is about .5T. 2. This country has an insatiable demand for expensive healthcare.

There’s no country with universal coverage where a child with little chance for survival would have received this level of care.
Whether or not a policy with a deductible like that is a gift to the CEO's yacht fund depends on the monthly payments and is, imho, orthogonal to a discussion about universal healthcare.
Presumably because the programmer likes that element of western culture. Are programmers supposed to conduct a poll among global stakeholders before they implement an easter egg?
This idea is amazing, and amazingly ambitious.

I wonder if the morloc language (as distinct from the tool) really has to be a new language, or if it could be represented in Haskell or a more flexible variant like Agda or Idris.
First world problem really. Also people look for deals hence in this example a second hand bike is purchased. There is no 'title' with bicycles and anything second hand bought off someone you don't know has to be assumed to be stolen. The market for second hand bikes encourages bike theft.

There are plenty of very good new bikes at almost all price points and the guy in the local bike shop can show you three bikes suited to your size, your use case and your budget.

Docking about online doing your research is all very interesting but the guy in the bike shop will help you just fine without you being an armchair expert.

No point ranting on about Amazon you just have to get away from the screen and get to the bike shop.
Well those are research papers, which have a different purpose, and I suspect in some fields research papers are actually more inscrutable now than then. I'm talking about books intended for an audience like the linked one, high school or early undergraduate. I haven't done an exhaustive survey or anything, but most of the ones I've looked at on calculus, trigonometry, etc. just wouldn't work for most students now; with the improved accessibility, much higher numbers of more diverse students are learning this kind of maths.
Totally agree, I've been impressed with how effective adding "-intitle:best" to a Google search is at filtering out SEO-gaming fluff
